COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Graduate Certificate in Mathematics is a three-subject course. The flexible course structure allows for study programs designed to suit different university graduates, from mathematicians looking to refresh or deepen their knowledge in a certain mathematical discipline, to holders of business, engineering or science bachelor’s degrees who require a mathematical foundation for further studies.
The course is recommended for those with insufficient mathematics in their bachelor’s degree who wish to meet the admission requirements of the Mathematical and Statistical Modelling major in the Master of Science (C04241) or Master of Mathematics and Quantitative Finance (C04419).
Course aims
The course aims to provide university graduates with access to training and retraining in mathematics and statistics with the aim to allow students to focus on particular mathematical topics rather than on broader areas of mathematics.
Careers
Career options include web analyst, consumer analytics, data scientist, database development, marketing research, risk analytics, web conversion optimisation, programming, computational modelling, scheduling and logistics, and statistical analysis.
