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:

1. Up to four further discipline subjects, including MAST90045 - Systems Modelling and Simulation, MAST90053 - Experimental Mathematics and MAST90079 - AMSI Summer School.
2. 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.
