100 credit points
Completion of 100 credit points
The Mathematics and Statistics specialisation requires students to complete eight coursework subjects (100 points - coursework only).
Students are required to complete a minimum of 50 points (four subjects) of discipline subjects, including at least one compulsory specialisation subject.
Students must select a specialisation from one of the following five areas:
- Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Biology;
- Mathematical Physics and Physical Combinatorics;
- Operations Research and Industrial Optimisation;
- Pure Mathematics;
- Statistics and Stochastic Processes.
*It is recommended that students take at least three subjects from a single specialisation area.
Students may also select:
- Up to four further discipline subjects, including MAST90045 - Systems Modelling and Simulation and MAST90079 - AMSI Summer School.
- Up to four level 3 Undergraduate subjects from the school of Mathematics and Statistics with Departmental Program Coordinator approval. One of these subjects can be replaced with an approved level 2 undergraduate subject. Where it is necessary for a student to acquire the required knowledge for a level 3 subject, up to one further level 3 subject can be replaced by an approved level 2 subject.
