BSc(Hons)(Curtin)

Introduction
This course enables students to extend their knowledge of current academic research methodology in the fundamental and applied areas of mathematics and statistics. This will be demonstrated through studying specialised units and the conduct of a supervised research project and presentation of an honours dissertation.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
Refer to Admission into Honours Degree Programs and Regulations for Honours Degrees (General Information section).

Duration and Availability
The honours degree program is one year full-time study.

Additional Course Expenses
