Honours Master of Science (in Mathematics)

The degree of Honours Master of Science shall be subject to the University Course Rules for the award of the degree of Honours Master together with the following conditions.

(1) A candidate shall undertake research, or a course of graduate studies and research, normally chosen from one of the postgraduate programs offered by the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics.

(2) Entry to the Honours Master of Science will normally be from an Honours bachelor degree in Mathematics at a standard of Class II, Division 2 or higher. Entry may also be approved for candidates with the qualification of Master of Mathematics on the recommendation of the Head of the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics.

(3) The Honours Master of Science will normally occupy two sessions of full-time study or four sessions of part-time study, and requires satisfactory completion of 900 level subjects to the value of at least 48 credit points chosen from one of the postgraduate programs offered by the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics including either:

(a) the subject MATH993 (48 credit points), or

(b) the subject MATH992 (36 credit points) and other 900 level subjects to the value of at least 12 credit points approved by the Head of School. In exceptional circumstances, and subject to approval of the Head of the School, subjects with the value of at most 6 credit points from the program may be replaced by any other 900 level subjects with value of at least 6 credit points.

(4) The registration of a candidate will be subject to termination if that candidate fails subjects to the total value of 18 or more credit points.

(5) Each candidate shall have a supervisor appointed on the recommendation of the Head of the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics.

(6) Before the award of Honours Master of Science is conferred on a candidate who holds a testamur of the University of Wollongong for the degree of Master of Mathematics, the candidate shall be deemed to surrender the testamur and the corresponding rights to the degree of Master of Mathematics.
