Australian National University (ANU)
1 year
An elite one-year honours program for exceptional mathematics graduates seeking research-focused careers. Students conduct independent research projects in mathematics while developing advanced quantitative modelling and analytical skills for careers in academia, government, commerce, or industry.
Applicants must hold an AQF Level 7 Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences degree or equivalent completed within the last two years, with a weighted average mark equivalent to ANU 70 per cent from 36 units of mathematics courses (excluding introductory 1000-level courses). You must have completed at least eight 2000- and 3000-level mathematics courses, with a minimum of four at the 3000-level or equivalent. Additionally, you need written approval from an identified supervisor for your research project. Admission is competitive and subject to supervisory capacity and approval from the relevant Delegated Authority within the College of Science.
The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Honours) requires completion of 48 units through one of thirteen honours specialisations: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Biological Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth and Marine Science, Environment, Mathematics, Medical Research, Physics, Physics of the Earth, Population Health, Science, or Science Communication. All students must complete an honours research project in mathematics approved by the relevant Delegated Authority. After meeting core program requirements, students may have sufficient electives to complete additional elective majors, minors, or specialisations in their chosen field.
ANU ranks among the world's very finest universities with nearly 100,000 alumni including political, business, government, and academic leaders around the world.
