Overview:	Entry Requirements: Prior studies in Mathematics and Statistics including at least two first year and three second or higher level subjects, with at least an H3 (65%) mark for each of the two best second or higher level subjects. If students have completed accelerated subjects then one fewer subject can be deemed appropriate.
Learning Outcomes:	The objectives of this diploma are to: further the understanding of Mathematics and Statistics across a wide range of theoretical and practical topics; encourage the development of abilities to think critically and independently; provide a pathway for entry into graduate study in Mathematics and Statistics for students whose main undergraduate field of study was not Mathematics and/or Statistics.
Structure & Available Subjects:	The Mathematics and Statistics program consists of eight Coursework subjects only (100 points). Subjects are chosen from three sources. 1. Advanced Discipline Subjects available to students enrolled into Master of Science (Mathematics and Statistics). The advanced discipline subjects are clustered into four areas: Applied Mathematics & Mathematical Physics Discrete Mathematics and Operations Research Specialisation Pure Mathematics Statistics & Stochastic Processes. 2. Students may choose MAST90045 Systems Modelling and Simulation. 3. Students may select up to four subjects from latter-year, normally third year, undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics subjects subject to Departmental Program Coordinator approval.
