Entry Requirements
To be eligible to enrol an applicant will normally have completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline. Students who do not have sufficient background in introductory calculus may be advised to enrol in MA65 Graduate Certificate in Mathematical Sciences first.

Prior to Enrolment
Potential applicants for this course are advised to contact the Course Coordinator prior to submitting their application to discuss their plans. International students in particular, should be aware that full-time enrolment of at least 36 credit points per semester may not be possible. This is due to the need to meet unit prerequisites. Units are not offered externally although units do have varying amounts of on-line material available. Lectures, tutorials and computer-based practicals may be timetabled during the day or early evening.

Career Outcomes
Knowledge and skills in mathematics and/or statistical techniques are increasingly in demand in many different areas. For example, quantitative analysis in the finance area; statistical and mathematical modelling in natural resources and health management; operations research in transport management.

Course Design
The program of study for an individual student will be decided in consultation with the course coordinator and will take into account the student's background and area of interest within the mathematical sciences.

In the Graduate Diploma, at least 24 credit points must be taken from postgraduate mathematics units other than Mathematical Foundations and/or Mathematics. Up to 24 credit points can be taken from units other than mathematics units and there is a limit of 36 credit points from project units.

Overview
This course enables graduates from any discipline to develop their knowledge and skills in one or more areas of the mathematical sciences. Strands available include mathematical modelling/applied mathematics, computational mathematics, statistics/statistical modelling, quantitative analysis/financial mathematics, operations research and scientific computation and visualisation. It recognises that students may not have studied mathematics for some time.

Course Structure

CodeTitle
 
-At least 24 credit points must be taken from postgraduate mathematics units other than MAN200 Mathematical Foundations and/or MAN201 Mathematics.
-Up to 24 credit points can be taken from units other than mathematics units.
-Limit of 36 credit points from project units.
 A planned program of study should be decided in consultation with the Course Coordinator. It will take into account the student's background and area of interest within the mathematical sciences. Strands represent areas of the mathematical sciences which may be of interest to students and the units listed under each strand can guide students in developing their planned program. Students will usually select units from one or two strands only. The unit MAN700 project can be used to satisfy the rule requiring at least 24 credit points from postgraduate mathematics units other than MAN200 and/or MAN201.
 The following postgraduate mathematics units are available in all strands (subject to the limit on credit points from project units):
MAN200Mathematical Foundations
MAN201Mathematics
MAN700Project
MAN717Minor Project
MAN787-1Project
MAN787-2Project
MAN787-3Project
 To undertake any of the project units, permission from the Course Coordinator is required. If students wish to take any of the above units they will need to discuss their plans and the proposed content with the Course Coordinator.

Strand Information

CodeTitle
 
 The following strand information is to assist students with unit selection. Students do not have to enrol in all units listed for a strand. The prerequisite units are given as a guide. Depending on a student's background, they may have already covered some of the units listed (or equivalent units) in their undergraduate studies. If students have not studied any mathematics for some time, they may need to undertake one or two units prior to commencing those listed in the strand information.
