Overview
Focused on students who are willing to develop expertise skill in handling Applied Mathematical knowledge to solve practical problems in real world scenarios, the honors degree in Applied Mathematics enables graduates to find employment as professionals in any industry, science and technological institutes, academic and research institutes, engineering field or any other field which requires the use of a practical application of mathematical techniques.
The course units in the honors degree program are designed to provide students with an in depth knowledge in both classical and modern topics of Applied Mathematics ranging from Quantum Mechanics to Actuarial Sciences. In addition, the students are offered courses in related fields such as Statistics, Computer Science and Programming that not only emphasize the power of Applied Mathematics to the student but also develop their skills in the respective fields that are of essential importance for their future careers. To develop student’s soft skills, the department has integrated presentations and practical components as methods of assessments to most courses. The industrial internship and the related project that is offered during the final semester of the program allow students to realize the applicability of their acquired knowledge and develops their finer skills that would help them to overcome the challenges they will have to face when working with real world problems.
Selections for this honors degree are done at the end of the second year, based on the students’ performance in Applied Mathematics courses, provided that the candidates have maintained an acceptable level of performance on the other two subjects pursued in their first two years.
