Mathematical Studies

Entry Requirements

It is expected that most students embarking on this course will have studied mathematics for at least 10 years. There will be a wide variety of topics studied, and differing approaches to teaching and learning. Thus, students will have a wide variety of skills and knowledge when they start this course. Most will have some background in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, and statistics. Some will be familiar with an inquiry approach and may have had an opportunity to complete an extended piece of work in mathematics. Areas of number and algebra; functions; geometry and trigonometry; probability and statistics; and calculus are assumed prior learning for the mathematics courses. It is recognised that this may contain certain aspects unfamiliar to some students, but it is anticipated that there may be other topics in the syllabus itself which these students have already encountered. IELTS 5.5 or equivalent.
