--- Quote ---Diploma in Mathematical Sciences
Description
The Diploma in Mathematical Sciences enables students to gain a mathematics qualification while completing an undergraduate degree. You will study first-year calculus and linear algebra, followed by a choice of later-year subjects from applied mathematics, pure mathematics, probability, statistics, discrete mathematics and operations research. Mathematics and statistics provide important insights into nature, technology and business. They are ‘enabling’ disciplines which are directly relevant to many other disciplines and complement most majors in all new generation degrees. Students may be eligible to receive the final 50 points of the Diploma HECS-free.
Structure
The Diploma in Mathematical Sciences is a three-year sequence totalling 100 points (equivalent to one-year full-time study) taken concurrently with a new generation bachelors degree. The Diploma consists of subjects from the major in Mathematics and Statistics available within the Bachelor of Science course. You will study first-year calculus and linear algebra, followed by a choice of later-year subjects from applied mathematics, pure mathematics, probability, statistics, discrete mathematics and operations research.

I'm a little confused. This may sound a little silly, but will the stuff learnt in UMEP Maths be equivalent to Diploma in Mathematical Sciences? (it's a one-year course btw :))
mark_alec:
It will not. UMEP Maths is only the equivalent of one subject at first year level.
tram:
yea UMEP only gains you exemption from accelerated maths 1-a first semester subject
tram:
pretty much, i think that in umep, we do a more than uni students would do in just accelerated maths one tho...
there has a been a shift to much more of an emphasis on linear algebra tho recently in umep
/0:
I think you need an A+ in the equivalent 1/2 subject.
