Available to graduates who have achieved a credit average in relevant third year subjects
in an undergraduate degree at this University and have shown an ability to apply mathematical
ideas to their discipline. Graduates from other universities with equivalent qualifications
will be considered for acceptance. Except with the approval of the Head of School/Associate
Dean, all subjects in a chain must be studied in consecutive teaching periods.
The Honours in Mathematical Sciences program is intended for students whose undergraduate
major is not in Mathematics, but who have a major in another science (or related)
discipline and want to carry out a project where mathematical techniques can be applied
to that area. As part of the program, students will need to acquire mathematical skills
that are appropriate to the project. Most students will also be directed to study
subjects within the School at an upper undergraduate or postgraduate level in order
to obtain these skills. Students eligible to do Mathematics Honours will be encouraged
to take the Mathematics Honours option.
Learning Outcomes
- ability to carry out a substantial piece of research and write a dissertation;
- ability to formulate and solve research problems;
- to understand theoretical concepts in a broad range of topics which give background
to the research project.
Subject Assessment
- 10% for each of three completed subjects selected with supervisor's approval - (30%) - Individual
- Thesis: 65% Oral Presentation: 5% - (70%) - Individual.
Availabilities

As this subject is part of a subject chain, a final
standard grade (e.g. P, C) will only be recorded
for each subject after successful completion of all
parts of the subject chain.
