Special Notes

These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).

Overview

The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Honours) [Direct Entry] program provides deep mathematical or statistical knowledge in a chosen discipline. The program provides a broad foundation in the mathematical sciences, the option of majoring in pure mathematics,  applied mathematics or statistics, and research  training through a substantial supervised  research project in the final year of the  program.

Students enrolled in this program must  maintain a GPA of 4.5 in each Teaching Period or will be required to transfer to the Bachelor  of Mathematical Sciences. To progress into the fourth year of the program, students must have completed 12 units of Level III courses in  Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics or Statistics with a GPA of 5.0 or better.

The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Honours) [Direct Entry] is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years.

Conditions

Condition of enrolment
Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Executive Dean or delegate before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.
