Extend your knowledge in your specialist area at postgraduate level with our honours programme. The Bachelor of Science (Honours) programme involves one year of full-time study, or two years of part-time study, after you have completed the requirements for the Bachelor of Science. After graduating with a BSc(Hons), it’s possible to progress to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. If you achieve First or Second Class First Division Honours in your BSc(Hons), you’ll be eligible for direct entry to a PhD. Applied Mathematics Postgraduate study in Applied Mathematics focuses on mathematical and computational models to formulate and solve real-world problems from a variety of areas within science and technology. From analysing the most efficient way to schedule airline routes between cities, to the effects and safety of new drugs, applied maths is a good foundation to apply alongside many other sciences. You will learn how to build mathematical models, how to formulate mathematical ideas for useful modeling, alongside learning about the solutions of models. Areas of research interests open to exploration include: Advanced numerical analysis Advanced partial differential equations Applied differential equations Dynamical systems Linear systems inverse problems Mathematical biology A good mathematical background enhances and develops your problem-solving skills, comprehension of abstract concepts and analytical and creative thinking. These are valued qualities in technical roles and in positions of leadership and management. Our graduates take up positions in business, government, industry, research, planning, and environmental organisations.
