Bachelor of Science - Mathematics Extended Major
Mathematics is available as a minor, major and extended major.
Program requirements
The program and course requirements set out the courses and rules you must follow to successfully complete this program.
You must also comply with UQ’s University Policies and Procedures.
What do the different requirements mean?
- Core - all students must complete this course
- Prerequisite for major - a course required for progression in this major
- Major compulsory - a course required for this major
- Major elective - required for the major, chosen from specific selection of courses
- Recommended - a course which complements the major, but can be substituted for an elective
Students commencing in Semester 2 (July intake)
The study planners provided outline the order of courses to be completed from semester 1 to semester 2. The planners identify semester offerings and in many instances, will be the same for students commencing the program from semester 2. You should check the course offerings to ensure that you are completing the courses in a way that ensures your progression in the program.
If the course sequencing in the planner does not work for you, please contact the School or book an appointment with an academic advisor to obtain individual advice.
