Concentrations
Mathematical Sciences undergraduates in the BSc in Mathematical Sciences, BSc in Mathematical and Computer Sciences, or BSc in Mathematical Sciences and Economics programmes in Matriculation Year 2023 or earlier may opt to pursue a concentration in a specific area of study. At graduation, the School will issue a certificate acknowledging completion of the concentration.
Pursuing a concentration is not applicable for Mathematical Sciences undergraduates in the BSc in Mathematical Sciences, BSc in Mathematical and Computer Sciences, or BSc in Mathematical Sciences and Economics programmes in Matriculation Year 2024 or later.
There are two concentrations available: (i) Mathematics of Information and Communication and (ii) Computational Mathematics. Their requirements are listed below.
Note that pursuing a concentration is entirely optional.
