MATH8702 Mathematics Reading Course
A maximum of 42 units may come from completion of the following courses
MATH6405 Ordinary Differential Equations and Advanced Vector Calculus
MATH6406 Partial Differential Equations, Fourier Analysis and Complex Analysis
MATH8702 Mathematics Reading Course
24 units from completion of the following research component:
MATH8701 Mathematics Research Project, which may be taken more than once over consecutive semesters
MATH8702 Mathematics Reading Course may be completed more than once under different topics.
Students must achieve a minimum 70% weighted average mark in the initial 48 units and have the approval of an identified supervisor for the research project to continue to the research component.
If the total number of units attempted exceeds 48 in the same teaching period in which the 48th unit is attempted, exactly 48 units will be used in the calculation of the weighted average mark with units from the course with the highest mark applied first followed by further units from courses in descending order of marks.
Students who do not achieve a minimum 70% weighted average mark or do not have the approval of an identified supervisor will be transferred to the Graduate Diploma of Science.
Admission Requirements
A Bachelor degree or international equivalent with an average mark of at least 70% and at least 8 courses in cognate disciplines.
All applicants must meet the University’s English Language Admission Requirements for Students.
Applicants with a Bachelor Degree or Graduate Certificate in a cognate discipline may be eligible for 24 units (one semester) of credit.
Applicants with a Graduate Diploma or Honours in a cognate discipline may be eligible for 48 units (one year) of credit.
Students must achieve a minimum 70% average mark in the first 48 units of coursework and have the approval of the supervisor for the research project.
Cognate discipline
Mathematics, Statistics, Mathematical Economics, Mathematical Finance, Actuarial Studies, Computer Science, Bioinformatics

Academic Advice
The first step to enrolling in your new program is to seek academic advice in order to discuss the courses you will be studying. This is done by making an appointment to meet with the program convener (details below).
Your academic advice session is a great opportunity to discuss with the convener the direction in which you want your studies to go. The convener will be able to advise you about course selection and content of courses that you will undertake as part of your program. Ideally you should bring along a copy of your academic record/academic transcripts as these will greatly assist your convener when giving you course advice.
To book an appointment you can:
Email: john.urbas@anu.edu.au
Phone: 02 6125 3876
Please also bring along your Planning Your Program document that is available from the enrolment website and your checklist. These documents will help you plan your degree and assist you with finalising your enrolment.
Further enrolment information can also be found here http://students.anu.edu.au/manage/enrol/coursework.php
Please follow each step and read through the additional information in the pdf guides, especially the ISIS enrolment guide in Step 2 and the How to enrol guide for new students in Step 3.
