The science honours year is a prestigious additional undergraduate study opportunity available after completing your bachelor's degree. This specialized year allows you to develop your research skills while applying theoretical knowledge from your previous studies. A mathematics honours qualification is valued both in academic circles and various industries that prize analytical thinking. Deepen your expertise by pursuing a dedicated Honours year in your chosen field, open to graduates who have completed relevant undergraduate studies. You can pursue honours in any scientific discipline, creating a customized research program with guidance from supervisors. Your project may span multiple scientific fields (such as mathematics and biology) and could require specialized coursework or technical training for specific equipment.
Eligible students can enroll in the applied mathematics honours program through the School of Mathematics and Statistics. Key research areas include Astrophysical and Geophysical Modelling, Financial Mathematics, Industrial Modelling, Mathematical Biosciences, and Nonlinear Systems.
During the applied mathematics honours program, you'll complete a significant research project or essay in a specialized area, mentored by an expert supervisor. Your work will culminate in either a research thesis or an analytical essay examining a classical mathematical problem. The program also includes relevant coursework through lectures and seminars. Current research focuses in applied mathematics encompass Astrophysical and Geophysical Modelling, Financial Mathematics, Industrial Modelling, Mathematical Biosciences, and Nonlinear Systems.
