It says on the website that in order to be considered, students must complete "an undergraduate degree with a major in a relevant discipline: mathematics, statistics or mathematical physics, with a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 65% in the best 50 points in appropriate discipline studies at third year." So they don't look at your WAM for first and second year?

Also, what does appropiate discipline studies mean? Finally, what WAM in your best 50 points in your discipline studies at third year would comfortably get you a CSP?

Hi! I don't know all the answers to your questions but I'll try to help out by answering some of them :)

For Masters in these areas, they focus on your third year results.

Appropriate discipline studies means they will look at the subjects that were completed from the Maths and Stats department (or subjects related to the mathematical physics major).

And as a guide, I think getting an average of 75+ (maybe even a 70+) for those top 4 subjects in that discipline should get you comfortably a CSP (but don't quote me on that)

Thank you very much!
