Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Mathematics is a four-subject course comprising undergraduate and/or honours-level subjects. The flexible course structure allows study programs designed to suit different categories of university graduates; from mathematicians who need to refresh or deepen their knowledge in a certain mathematical discipline, to holders of business, engineering or science bachelor degrees who need a mathematical foundation for further studies.

The course is recommended for those with insufficient mathematics in their bachelor's program who wish to meet the admission requirements of the Graduate Diploma in Mathematics and Statistics for Business and Finance (C06097).

Course aims

The course aims to provide university graduates with access to training and retraining in mathematics and statistics with the aim to allow students to focus on particular mathematical topics rather than on broader areas of mathematics.

Admission requirements

Applicants should have a bachelor's degree from UTS or other recognised institution. If a chosen subject has prerequisites, these prerequisites either should be included in the program or should be completed prior to enrolment.

Recognition of prior learning

No exemptions are granted as recognition of prior learning.

Course duration and attendance

An applicant may enrol in this course either on a full-time or part-time basis. As a guide, minimum full-time attendance is one semester of study, and part-time attendance is one year of study. The possibility of full-time study and duration of the course depend on the subjects chosen and their availability. Applicants should be aware that subjects may require attendance at daytime classes. The current timetable is available at:

Course structure

Students are required to complete 24 credit points, comprising four subjects offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Each program must be approved by the Course Director, Postgraduate Programs. The subjects are to be chosen from the list of subjects (options) below offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

Note: Subjects listed as electives (options) are only offered in a particular semester (or year) if there is sufficient demand and the necessary resources.

Transfer between UTS courses

Students enrolled in this program are eligible to apply to transfer to the Graduate Diploma in Mathematics and Statistics for Business and Finance (C06097) provided they satisfy the admission criteria of the graduate diploma program. This allows students, who did not have the mathematical knowledge required for admission to the graduate diploma, to complete the necessary subjects as a part of the graduate certificate program and then to transfer to the Graduate Diploma in Mathematics and Statistics for Business and Finance (C06097).

Further study at UTS

Student who complete this course can enrol in the Graduate Diploma in Mathematics and Statistics for Business and Finance (C06097) with exemption from up to two core subjects of the graduate diploma program provided these subjects were completed as a part of the graduate certificate.
