Diploma of Mathematical Sciences

Diploma in Mathematical Sciences with a Bachelor of Science and as Core in a Bachelor of Environments - Accelerated Program

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 usually 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. Below are possible course plans for either 7 semesters (standard option) or 6 semesters (accelerated option). The precise timing of subjects especially in second year depends on the area of major studies in the Bachelor of Science.
