Why study Mathematics?

Undergraduate level Mathematics may be studied for its own sake, or for its extensive applications in the physical and biological sciences, engineering, information technology, economics, or finance areas.

The Honours program in Mathematics requires students to complete a research project in a chosen area, as well as courses offered in Pure Mathematics, Applied and Computational Mathematics, and Statistics.

The main aims of the Honours year are:
  • To enable students with an adequate background in Mathematics to pursue further study in one specialist area in more depth than is possible with a pass degree.
  • To enhance students' capacity for independent research and to acquire research skills appropriate to their area of specialisation.
  • To train to a standard sufficient for enrolment in postgraduate research degrees, and for a specialist career. Achievement of first class or IIA honours allows direct entry to a PhD program.

Students wishing to complete a BA(Hons) degree in Mathematics should refer to the BA Mathematics course list for pre-requisite information.

What you can study

An Honours year in Mathematics focuses on developing and consolidating the knowledge and skills acquired during undergraduate study, with particular emphasis on utilising those skills in a sustained and purposeful way by conducting independent research. Apart from content knowledge, employers and professionals value both the reliability and capacity for independent work, and the skill at writing substantial reports which are demonstrated by successful completion of Honours.
