Details

Units

The Dean’s Scholars Program in Mathematics offers an enriched course of study, with an early introduction to mathematical research, for students who obtain outstanding levels of academic achievement at Secondary School. At the same time it provides the option of an accelerated pathway by which these students are able to complete the Bachelor of Mathematics course plus the Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours) course in a total of just three years.

Mathematics Dean’s scholars are able to undertake research enrichment units and individually-tailored tutorial programs:

an individually–tailored tutorial program under the guidance of an academic mentor (SCB303 Tutorial Program for Dean’s Scholars); and

a research component that is individually tailored to the student’s interests, in which research skills are developed and a small research project supervised by a research mentor is completed in the final year (SCB401 Research Methods for Dean’s Scholars and SCB501 Research Project for Dean’s Scholars).
