Master of Science - Research (in Mathematics)
Master of Science - Research (Statistics)
Honours Master of Science (in Mathematics)
The degree of Master of Science - Research (Mathematics) shall be subject
to the University Course Rules for the award of the degree of Masters
by Research, together with the following conditions:
| 1) |
This degree is primarily a research degree
for those who have completed a Bachelors Honours degree at a standard
of Class II, Division 2 or higher in Mathematics, or an equivalent
coursework Pass Masters Degree in Mathematics. Entry from a relevant
Pass Bachelor degree, or Pass Bachelor degree and Graduate Diploma,
with a very good academic record is also possible. |
| 2) |
The degree is 72 credit points, comprising
a 48 credit point research thesis and 24 credit points of coursework.
The degree will usually be studied full-time over one and one half
years or may be studied part-time over three years, with a maximum
completion time of two years full-time or four year on a part-time
basis. |
| 3) |
Candidates with a Bachelors Honours degree
at a standard of Class II, Division 2 or higher, or an equivalent
coursework Pass Masters degree may be given exemption from all, or
some, of the 24 credit points of coursework. If given exemption from
all of the 24 credit points of coursework they may need to only complete
the 48 credit point research component, which may be done in one year.
|
|
4)
|
a) |
The coursework component will consist of subjects from
the Mathematics 900 level schedule, which together provide research
skills and competencies required to complete a research project in
Mathematics. |
| |
b) |
The 48 credit point thesis component will consist of
the subject MATH993. |
| 5) |
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. |
| 6) |
Each candidate shall have a supervisor
appointed on the recommendation of the Head of the School of Mathematics
and Applied Statistics. |
| 7) |
Before the award Master of Science (Research)
Mathematics is conferred on a candidate who holds a testamur of the
University of Wollongong for the degree of Master of Mathematics,
the candidate shall surrender the testamur and the corresponding rights
to the degree of Master of Mathematics. |
