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 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's degrees who need a mathematical foundation for further studies.
The course is recommended for those with insufficient mathematics in their bachelor's degree 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 must have completed a UTS recognised bachelor's degree, or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate studies.
The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 550-583 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64; or CAE: 58-66
Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.
International students
Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.
Credit recognition
No exemptions are granted as credit recognition.
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 the 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. The subjects are to be chosen from the list of subjects (options) below offered by the department.
The availability of the subjects in this program is shown with the subject descriptions in this handbook. Many subjects offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences have prerequisites. It is the student's responsibility to check that they have the required knowledge specified by these prerequisites. Students are strongly advised not to enrol in any subject if they do not have knowledge equivalent to the subject's prerequisites.

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 do 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.
