Program focus

This program gives graduates from a non-mathematical area the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in areas of mathematics that are relevant to their professional or industrial careers.

Program aims

The program aims to provide an opportunity for graduates in programs other than Mathematics to gain skills in key areas of mathematics that relate to the needs of their profession or industry.

Program objectives

Successful completion of the program will enable graduates to:

• acquire specific knowledge and skills in mathematics which are relevant to their disciplines and careers

• become better problem solvers and innovative thinkers and thus be able to contribute at a higher level to their professional environment

• understand the meaning and basis of fundamental mathematical ideas and techniques

• demonstrate the ability to model real-life scenarios in order to enable mathematical analysis

• demonstrate the ability to apply mathematics to the solution of problems in a variety of situations.

Admission requirements

To qualify for entry to the program, applicants must:

• hold a bachelor's degree or a three-year diploma in a non-Mathematics discipline from an Australian university; OR

• hold a degree from a recognised university in a non-Mathematics discipline; OR

• have an approved qualification at least equivalent of the above.

Note: Applicants whose degree or equivalent qualifications include a major in mathematics or statistics will not normally be eligible for admission. In such instances, a case for admission will need to be made to the Head of Department.

Students must complete any eight courses from the following table, provided that at least two Level 3 courses are completed and at least five courses are from the Mathematics and Statistics major of the Bachelor of Science.

Required time limits

Students have a maximum of 3 years to complete this program.

IT requirements

Students should visit the USQ to check that their computers are capable of running the appropriate software and versions of Internet web browsers and to check the minimum and recommended standards for software.

Enrolment

Enrolment patterns will need to be determined for individual students. On acceptance into the program, students must submit an enrolment pattern for approval to the Undergraduate Coordinator, Mathematics and Computing. Pre-requisite courses should be taken as a guide to the assumed knowledge required for a course. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they have the assumed knowledge before enrolling in a particular course.

Recommended enrolment pattern

There is no recommended enrolment pattern for this program. Students should select their own. If unsure about a suitable enrolment pattern, students should contact the Program Coordinator.
