Details
This course enables graduates from any discipline to develop their knowledge and skills in one or more areas of the mathematical sciences. Strands available include mathematical modelling/applied mathematics, computational mathematics, statistics/statistical modelling, quantitative analysis/financial mathematics and operations research. This course recognises that students may not have studied mathematics for some time.
Career outcomes
Knowledge and skills in mathematics and/or statistical techniques are increasingly in demand in many different areas, for example, quantitative analysis in the finance area, statistical and mathematical modelling in natural resources and health management, operations research in transport management, and mathematics teaching.
Units
Course design
The program of study for an individual student will be decided in consultation with the course coordinator and will take into account the student’s background and area of interest within the mathematical sciences.
For the Masters program, at least 36 credit points must be taken from advanced postgraduate mathematics units. Up to 24 credit points can be taken from units other than mathematics units and there is a limit of 48 credit points from project units.
Entry requirements
To be eligible for admission an applicant:
A Bachelor degree in any discipline.
Students who do not have sufficient background in introductory calculus, linear algebra and statistics may be advised to enrol in the Graduate Certificate in Mathematical Science (MA65) as a pathway to Masters.
