Overview
Through the honours degree, students develop their level of competence in the area of mathematics chosen as their major in the Bachelor of Science (C10242).
Students who complete the honours degree are well prepared to enter the workforce at a high level or to undertake graduate studies.
Admission requirements
Admission to the honours degree is assessed individually according to the following criteria.
- Students who are eligible to graduate from the Bachelor of Science (Mathematics major) with an average mark of 65 per cent or more in Year 2 (full time) in their core subjects and chosen major are eligible for entry to the honours degree.
- Students who have obtained qualifications equivalent to the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree are, upon application, considered for entry by the Head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences on the basis of assessed potential to complete the honours degree.
Course duration and attendance
The course is offered on a one-year full-time or a two-year part-time basis.
Course structure
The honours program requires the completion of subjects totalling 48 credit points. Honours is offered in the mathematics, statistics and quantitative management majors, although some majors may not be offered in a given year.
Note: The course structure is currently undergoing review and not all subjects listed may be offered in the revised program.
