Advanced Mathematics/Arts - 3933 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A five-year degree leading to the potential award of honours in the BSc component based on overall performance. The degree will incorporate majors in mathematics and arts and a research project. The degree program divides into four groups covering discipline-specific technical content, research projects, free electives and the general education components.
Whereas the development of depth of understanding in pure and applied areas of mathematics and practical skills in specific disciplines are essential, the degree will also focus on instilling a culture of research and enquiry through early induction into the research ethos and access to research groups and facilities. Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes
- a major with core and elective courses as specified in the Handbook. - 24 to 48 units of credit of project or thesis work. - 6 uoc of Advanced Science/Mathematics general core courses (SCIF1021). - a 48 unit Honours sequence at Stage 4 (forming part of the major and research project or thesis work). - 24 to 48 units of credit in Level I science courses except where specified in a particular program. - a student will be required to have attained a single term weighted average mark (WAM) of 70 or higher in each prior session or they may be transferred to the 3931 program. - a 42 unit of credit single major sequence in Arts as specified in List A for the BA in the Handbook. - a maximum of 66 units of credit to be drawn from any sequence in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. * Note that in the Quantitative Risk major some ACTL and FINS courses count as mathematics for the purposed of meeting the degree rules. Please refer to Program Structure above.

Students seeking to complete the Advanced Science component of this combined degree program would normally be expected to complete the full Stage 4 Honours sequence for the Study Plan in which they are enrolled. In practice, it may be difficult to undertake some Study Plans as part of combined degree structures and students may be restricted in the number of Advanced Science courses that they can undertake. Where these are insufficient to allow the student to complete the recommended Study Plan, students are advised to consult the relevant Head of School.
