Main Content
Stage 1
Consists of two core units and four elective units to be chosen in consultation with the Course Coordinator. Not all elective units are offered in any particular year.
With the approval of the course coordinator, one of the above elective units may be replaced by a 4000 level mathematics unit.
Stage 2
The thesis component of this course is entirely research based and equivalent to 1 year of full-time study. Each semester students nominate if they wish to enrol into research thesis unit: MAT6200 at 50% or 100% of full-time enrolment. Students are required to continue re-enrolling in the thesis component of their study until the thesis is submitted for examination.
During this year students write a research thesis under the supervision of a staff member. Available research areas currently include Mathematical Modelling, Image Analysis, Time Series Analysis, Spatial Data Analysis, Geostatistics and Spatial Modelling. Students who are unable to proceed beyond Stage 1 may be eligible to graduate with a Post Graduate Diploma of Science (Mathematics and Planning).
