BSc in Mathematical Sciences
Curriculum (Matriculation Year 2021-2023)
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.
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).
- Students who do not take the Final Year Project can opt to do either Professional Internship (MH4912) or Professional Attachment (MH4913).
- To satisfy the major with a Concentration in the Mathematics of Information and Communication, in addition to the above major requirements, a student must pass four courses in the Mathematics of Information and Communication List.
- To satisfy the major with a Concentration in Computational Mathematics, in addition to the above major requirements, a student must pass four courses in the Computational Mathematics List.
- 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.
