BSc in Mathematical Sciences with Second Major in Data Analytics
Curriculum (Matriculation Year 2022-2023)
Curriculum Overview
The Mathematical Sciences major is divided into four tracks: Pure Mathematics (PMAS), Applied Mathematics (AMAS), Statistics (STAT), and Business Analytics (BA). The distribution of Academic Units (AU) varies between the different tracks.
| Course Type | Academic Units (AU) |
|---|
| PMAS | AMAS | STAT | BA |
|---|
| Core Courses | 45 | 45 | 45 | 37 |
| Track Core | 7 | 7 | 8 | 13 |
Prescribed Electives for chosen Track
Choose one of the two options:
- Take Professional Attachment (PA), MH4913. (Eligible to take during Year 2 or Year 3 Special Term)
- Take Professional Internship (PI), MH4912. (Eligible to take from Year 3)
AU figures for the PI option are shown in parentheses.
| 24 (19) | 24 (19) | 23 (18) | 26 (21) |
| Second Major Courses:
| 21
|
| Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core: Common Core | 17 |
| Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core: Foundational Core | 10 (15) |
Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDE)
Can take BDEs offered by any School. | 12
|
| Total | 136 AU |
Notes:
- AU figures in parentheses (x) indicate the number of AU if the option with PI is selected.
- A grade of A- or better in the Final Year Project (MH4900) is required to be eligible for Honours (Highest Distinction).
- To satisfy the major with a Concentration in the Mathematics of Information and Communication, a student must also pass four courses in the Mathematics of Information and Communication List.
- To satisfy the major with a Concentration in Computational Mathematics, a student must also pass four courses in the Computational Mathematics List.
- The total AU for the Second Major must be at least 21, excluding MH1201, MH1403 and MH2500 which are double-counted.
- All core and track core courses cannot be mapped to exchange courses. A maximum of three Major Prescribed Electives can be mapped to exchange courses. Please refer to this page for more information.
