Plan Outline

This plan is for a major in Mathematics within Science and combined Science programs (excluding Advanced Mathematics and Advanced Science).

The UNSW School of Mathematics and Statistics offers a complete range of courses in Mathematics and Statistics at all levels. The School is also a leading centre for mathematical research at both the national and the international level; our expertise ranges across wide areas of Mathematics, including Financial Mathematics, Biomedical Mathematics, and Environmental Mathematics.

Note: Students wanting to do a double Major in Mathematics and Statistics, please see details here.

For a MAJOR in Mathematics, successful completion of the following courses is required.

Notes

Students majoring in Mathematics are strongly recommended to take MATH2301 or an equivalent course in practical numerical computing.
Many courses in Mathematics are offered at two levels. The higher level courses cater for students with greater mathematical ability and/or a higher level of prior knowledge. Students with suitable qualifications are encouraged to enrol in the corresponding higher level courses. In cases where there is a higher course, the proportion of Distinction and High Distinction grades is lower in the corresponding ordinary level course.

Honours

Honours level study is also available in Mathematics within the program 3970. If you are interested in studying Mathematics at Honours level click here.
