This degree is intended to enable students to upgrade their expertise in the mathematical sciences either as a route to further study of mathematical sciences or to upgrade their quantitative skills in a number of areas (such as the biological sciences and computational science) that are rapidly becoming more reliant on advanced techniques from the mathematical sciences.

Status:

Where a candidate has, prior to admission, performed postgraduate work at the University or at any other tertiary education institution approved by the Dean, the Dean may grant the candidate status towards the Master degree for appropriate coursework units.

Prerequisites

Applicants should normally have completed an honours degree with at least second class honours, division A, or the equivalent. The degree may be in any discipline, but must contain at least the equivalent of a major in mathematics.

Students without the formal prerequisite but with, for example,

• a very good four-year bachelor degree, or graduate diploma or
• a very good three-year bachelor degree and substantial relevant work experience demonstrating a capacity for analysis and research

may be admitted by the Dean on the advice of the program coordinator.
