📖Program Curriculum

In Semesters 1-3 you’ll take Mathematics plus two other subjects. Material covered at secondary level is reviewed and applied before being developed further ensuring a smooth transition from a school teaching approach to a university one.

You’ll take core modules in: Calculus of One and Several Variables; Vectors Matrices Complex Numbers and their Application in Geometry and Systems Theory; Probability; and Analysis. You can also opt to take an additional mathematics modules in Statistics and Discrete Mathematics.

In Semesters 4-8 the Applied Mathematics Honours course covers a broad range of skills. Advanced modules cover the following key areas: mathematical techniques for solving a wide range of problems; the theory underlying these mathematical techniques; and model-building for example converting real-world problems into mathematical form. This will include projects that allow further development of skills in areas of applied mathematics.

Employers increasingly look for research experience and extracurricular activities in addition to a good degree. We’ve been entering teams of students in The Mathematical Contest In Modeling with great success since 2011. This offers students the chance to develop skills that employers are looking for.

Our Mathematics and Statistics Group provides a stimulating and supportive learning environment for you to develop your mathematical techniques.
