ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
The aim of the Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate in Mathematical Sciences is to give students the opportunity to gain advanced expertise and knowledge in Mathematical Sciences. These qualifications will be of particular interest to professionals, such as secondary school teachers, who wish to update their skills in current technologies and applications of mathematical sciences relevant to their various professional contexts.
These qualifications will also allow students who have a degree in another discipline, with a minor or similar in mathematics, to extend their skills and knowledge in mathematical sciences.
WHAT THESE PROGRAMMES COVER
Students will deepen their knowledge in mathematical sciences by studying a selection of Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences papers.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Applicants for whom English or Māori is not their first language are required to provide proof of an acceptable pass/grade gained in an accepted English language test. For more details, please refer to English Language Requirements in AUT's Academic Calendar or visit www.aut.ac.nz/calendar.
