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.
