Diploma in Mathematical Sciences with a Bachelor of Science and as Core in a Bachelor of Environments - Accelerated Program
*Note: The University is in the process of obtaining CRICOS accreditation for this course and anticipates enrolling international students into this course from the start of the 2009 academic year. Unless this accreditation is received, the course will not be offered. Please contact International Admissions to check the availability of the course before applying. |
Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science taking the Diploma may not have mathematics and statistics as their primary major in the Bachelor of Science. Students will undertake an additional 50 points (4 subjects) of third year mathematics and statistics as well as the usual 300 points that make up an undergraduate degree. The following shows the timing of subjects if the Diploma is done concurrently with the undergraduate degree.
