Course Description
A Bachelor of Mathematics Honours degree considerably widens career opportunities and serves as an initial preparation for employment as a professional mathematician/statistician. It also satisfies the entry requirement for higher research studies such as a Master of Philosophy or a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree.
Entry Requirements
Academic requirements, English requirements and credit transfer information are available from the Course Finder.
Course Structure
A student must complete 48 credit points to be eligible for the award of Honours. A candidate must select 7 topics (a candidate may select 8 or more topics with approval from the Honours Coordinator) from those on offer at the 400 level in Mathematics and Statistics and complete a Project.
The coursework topics are usually sessional, and a candidate will normally take 4 topics in one session, 3 in the other. With the approval of the Honours Coordinator, up to 2 of these topics may be replaced by 300 level Mathematics and Statistics subjects that may be considered appropriate to complement a particular candidate's previous undergraduate studies.
A candidate will complete a Project in an area of interest under the close supervision of one or more members of staff in the discipline.
Full-time students enrol in one 24 credit point subject each session. Part-time students enrol in the 12 credit point equivalent each session.
