The Honours year can be taken full-time or *part-time in one of the following streams:Ìý

• Applied Mathematics
• Pure Mathematics
• Statistics,Ìý
• Quantitative Data ScienceÌý´Ç°ùÌý
• Physical Oceanography.ÌýÌý

If you are an Advanced Mathematics or Advanced Science student, then the Honours year is built into your degree. All other students will have to enrol in a new stand-alone Honours year (program 4500). See the section onÌýHow to Apply, below.Ìý Please note that you will also need to apply in through the "Apply Online" form and also the "Intention to take Honours" survey (if you are not in an embedded Honours program)- by visiting thisÌýlink.Ìý

*Please note with regards to Honours Part-time. You must undertake the MATH4001 thesis in 3 consective terms. You are not permitted to have a term break between enrolment in MATH4001.

Entry requirements

To enter Honours in Mathematics or Statistics, students must haveÌýeither:

• Completed a Mathematics or Statistics major in the Science and/or Advanced Science program, including at least 30 units of credit inÌýLevel III or above Mathematics;Ìýor
• Completed Stage 3 of one of the plans in the Advanced Mathematics, or the Physical Oceanography plan in the Advanced Science program;Ìýor
• Completed a suitable Mathematics or Statistics degree at another university.

To enter Honours in Quantitative Data Science you must haveÌýeither:

• Completed the Bachelor of Data Science and Decision program (any stream) but including at least 18 units of credit in Level III MATH or DATA courses;Ìýor
• Completed a suitable quantitatively based data science bachelor's degree at »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ or any other university.

In addition, students will normally be required to have:

• AnÌýaverage above 70% in their Level III or above Mathematics courses
• AnÌýaverage above 70% in core Level III Mathematics coursesÌýfor the specialisation in which they will undertake Honours.
  • For Applied Mathematics, these core courses will be determined in consultation with the Applied Honours Coordinator.
  • For Pure Mathematics, these courses are MATH3611, MATH3701, and MATH3711.
  • For Statistics, these core courses are those in the Statistics major.
  • For Quantitative Data Science, students must have completed the Bachelor in Data Science and Decision program including at least 18UOC in level III MATH or DATA courseÌý´Ç°ùÌýcompleted a bachelor degree which includes at least three level III, or higher level, courses in mathematics or statistics, and at least two level III, or higher level, courses in computer science and/or business that are listed as electives in program 3959.Ìý

With the permission of the Honours Coordinator a student may be allowed into Honours without having satisfied the specific departmental requirements, and instead have shown some evidence of the ability to undertake independent study. Students must also have permission of the appropriate Honours Coordinator.

Students are able to undertake Honours full-time or part-time. However your MATH4001 Thesis must be taken over 3 consecutive terms. You should consult your Honours Coordinator as to your enrolment.

To obtain this permission, you should, as early as possible, consult with the appropriate Honours Coordinator:
