Stage 3:

12 UOC of non-statistics level III (or hybrid) Mathematics course*
6 UOC of any level III (or hybrid) Mathematics course not already taken

*Courses numbered from MATH3000 to MATH3699 or MATH6700 to MATH6899 inclusive are non-statistics Mathematics courses.

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 in Advanced Science are required to enrol in the higher level courses where offered.
