    Overview

    Overview

    The course is designed to provide thorough internationally competitive training in mathematical sciences. It covers a variety of subjects, ranging from computational mathematics, modelling and optimization, to related disciplines such as data science and finance management. Students completing the course will have also been exposed to the methodology involved in the pursuit of independent research. With the advanced mathematical skills and knowledge acquired from the course, graduates may work in the areas of science, engineering, technology, or finance.

    What you'll learn

    • have demonstrated knowledge and understanding that is founded upon and extends and/or enhances that typically associated with the bachelor-level, and that provides a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context.
    • can apply their knowledge and understanding, and problem-solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to mathematical sciences.
    • can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously.
    • can integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgements with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgements.
    • comprehend that mathematical sciences is an international discipline with varying perspectives as demonstrated in the diversity of opinion identified while undertaking this course.
    • have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study and practice in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.
