This is a typical course plan for a student undertaking the Diploma in Mathematical Sciences alongside a Bachelor of Science, and taking the Calculus 1 first-year mathematics pathway.
| Subjects counting towards the Diploma of Mathematical Sciences only | |
| Subjects counting towards Bachelor degree only | |
| Subjects cross credited so that they count towards both the Bachelor degree and the Diploma of Mathematical Sciences |
| Semester 1 | Level 1 MAST10005 Calculus 1 | Level 1 Science | Level 1 Science | Breadth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semester 2 | Level 1 MAST10006 Calculus 2 | Level 1 Science | Level 1 Science | Breadth |
| Summer | Level 1 MAST10007 Linear Algebra | |||
| Semester 3 | Level 2 Maths/Stats Major | Level 2 Science Major | Level 2 Science Major | Breadth |
| Semester 4 | Level 2 Maths/Stats Major | Level 2 Maths/Stats Major | Level 2 Science Major | Science Elective or Breadth ** (See note) |
| Semester 5 | Level 3 Maths/Stats Major | Level 3 Maths/Stats Major | Level 3 Science Major | Level 3 Science Major |
| Semester 6 | Level 3 Maths/Stats Major | Level 3 Maths/Stats Major | Level 3 Science Major | Level 3 Science Major |
| Semester 7 | Level 3 Science Elective | Breadth or Science Elective | Breadth |
Note: ** Students intending to take the Applied Mathematics specialisation who do not already have evidence of competence in computer programming will also need to complete a computing subject to satisfy the computing prerequisite for MAST30028. These students are recommended to take COMP10001 Foundations of Computing as one of their level-1 science subjects in semester 1, 2, 3 or 4, or COMP20005 Engineering Computation as a level-2 science elective in semester 3 or 4. Students in this situation may wish to seek individual course advice.
