Master of Science - Applied Mathematics

You’ll develop your critical thinking skills and learn advanced mathematical techniques for approaching problems in a logical, analytical and creative manner. Mathematical modelling is used across a wide range of problems. These include the design of: networks for improved efficiency in traffic flow climate models used to predict weather events, and models that enable scientists to better understand infectious diseases. Study applied mathematics and learn how advanced mathematical methods are used to develop practical solutions in a variety of real-world contexts. Many of our mathematics graduates study higher degrees and go on to research positions at universities and other major research institutions.

If you have relevant prior learning or experience, you can reduce the number of courses you need to complete and graduate in less time.To be eligible to complete the degree in 1.5 years full-time (only available as full-time study), you'll need:a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in mathematics, statistics or physics.You must have a grade point average (GPA) of 5.0 on a 7-point scale in your previous qualification.An assessment is made of the applicant's background covering completion of, and performance in, relevant courses in their prior institution which provide the relevant pre-requisite knowledge. Students can provide further evidence in the form of a CV of their background.
