Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Honours)

Students are required to complete 24 credit points of coursework and a 24 credit point research project, totalling 48 credit points for the honours degree.

The research project is completed under the direction of a supervisor who is an expert in the selected topic and guides the research throughout the year. It centres around an essay/thesis written on a specialised topic from your chosen area, and students also deliver a presentation to staff members and fellow students.

The standard closing dates are 15 January of the commencing year for Semester 1 entry, and 25 June of the commencing year for Semester 2 entry. Separate deadlines apply for scholarship applications.

Part-time study is permitted for eligible students, excluding student visa holders, if approved by the faculty.

You should contact the honours coordinator in the relevant faculty or school for information about honours projects and potential supervisors. It is best to find a supervisor with experience in your topic area, and you may need to meet with your proposed supervisor to confirm their availability and discuss your proposed research topic. You should provide evidence of their support with your application.
