Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced)
Overview
This challenging Bachelor degree is available to students who have superior mathematical knowledge on entry, allowing the amount of first year mathematics subjects to be significantly reduced. This enables students to take enrichment projects, which provide opportunities to build links with industry and to understand the interaction between mathematics and society. Students will also have close interaction with active academic researchers.
Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge
Approximate UAI: 92
Assumed Knowledge: HSC Mathematics Extension 2
For entry requirements for students 21 and over or international students, please refer to the relevant prospectus.
Course Requirements
Students who enrol in Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced), must satisfactorily complete at least 144 credit points from either or both the Mathematics and the General Schedule including:
- MATH110
- CSCI114
- Each of the subjects MATH201, MATH202, MATH203 and MATH204
- Each of the subjects MATH212, MATH222 and STAT231
- the subject MATH235 or STAT235
- the subject MATH345 or STAT345
- 300- and/or 400- level subjects from the Mathematics Schedule with a value of at least:
- 36 credit points, or
- 24 credit points, if there is a major study in Computer Science30
- credit points, if there is any other major study
- a major study in Mathematics or Statistics (apart from
MATH345 and STAT345)
- no more than 60 credit points at 100 level.
- continuation in the Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced)
(code 762A) will normally be dependent upon achieving an
average of at least 75% each year. Students who do not meet
the required average will be transferred to the Bachelor
of Mathematics degree (code 762).
Note that a student could do some 300 level subjects in
second year.
Course Program
Recommended Program in Mathematics, Statistics plus another discipline
The following is a possible enrolment program for someone doing a "major" in a discipline other than Mathematics, Statistics or Computer Science. Considerable variation is possible. However, please note that this program does not satisfy the formal requirements for a major in the other discipline. Candidates are advised to check the requirements for a major in other disciplines listed under the Bachelor of Mathematics degree regulations
