It is recommended to take a total of three mathematical and interdisciplinary options in Semester 1 and a total of two in Semester 2.
Project work and dissertation
After the Semester 2 exams in the full-time course and in the second year of the part-time course, the student undertakes an individual project during the remaining period of the course. The project should contain either an analytical or a computational approach, or both, to solving a substantial problem of interest in an area of application. The student is required to write a report on the project by the end of the course, in the form of an assessed dissertation.
