Course Advice for Undergraduates booklet
The Course Advice for Undergraduates booklet (2024 edition) contains information about mathematics and statistics subjects, majors and specialisations in one convenient booklet. It is updated in October each year.
The booklet contains information about:
- The Mathematics and Statistics, Data Science and Mathematical Physics majors of the Bachelor of Science
- The specialisations within the Mathematics and Statistics major or Diploma in Mathematical Sciences
- Recommended mathematics and statistics subject choices to complement other majors
- Information about individual subjects offered by the School of Mathematics and Statistics
Individual course advice from a mathematics and statistics course adviser
Students are welcome to talk to a mathematics and statistics course adviser for help choosing subjects or planning their course.
During October, students can attend drop-in advice sessions to talk to a course adviser. The times and locations for the drop-in advice sessions are listed here on MS Prime. (Accessible to current mathematics & statistics students only.) At other times of year, students can contact Brian Krummel at brian.krummel@unimelb.edu.au to arrange individual course advice.
