The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time).
The course is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
The College also offers the Bachelor Mathematical Sciences (Honours) - 4 years.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
Successful completion of either SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Mathematical Methods or Specialist Mathematics or International Baccalaureate Mathematics (SL or HL) is normally required for entry to the Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences.
* Mathematical Methods (2MHS20) from 2017, or Mathematical Studies (2MDS20) if studied in 2016 or prior.
The course has been designed to provide graduates with:
The course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in a mathematically-related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
On completion of the award, students will be able to:
To qualify for the Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences, a student must complete 108 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
No more than 45 units of First Year topics may be counted towards the degree.
Not all topics are necessarily available in a given year.
Students achieving a credit level average or better at the end of third year will be eligible to transfer to the fourth year of the Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Honours) program.
