Programme Overview
The BSc Honours in Applied Mathematics is designed to offer a robust foundation for advanced academic pursuits and professional careers in the dynamic field of applied mathematics. This programme is tailored for students with strong theoretical grounding and practical interests, aiming to deepen and broaden their understanding of mathematical principles and their real-world applications.
Students will explore a wide array of topics—from abstract mathematical techniques to numerical computation, mathematical modelling, and computer simulation—while learning to apply these tools to solve complex, real-life problems.
Entry Requirements
Those who have followed subject combinations including MAT are eligible for this programme. The selection will be based upon the GPA obtained for MAT courses in first two years. The number of candidates depend on the available resources of the department of Mathematics.
