The interdisciplinary approach recognises that solutions to<br />
problems often rely on knowledge gained across tranditional<br />
disciplines. In the selection of fields of research, students are<br />
encouraged to examine the broad perspective within which the<br />
problem lies and to adopt problem-solving techniques applicable<br />
across disciplines.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
The minimum admission requirement is a relevant Bachelor<br />
degree in Science or equivalent. The student should consult<br />
the course cooordinator before making application for admission.<br />
COURSE LOCATION<br />
This course is available on Mt Lawley, and Joondalup Campuses.<br />
MODE OF STUDY<br />
This course is available by Full-time, or Part-time mode.<br />
MODE OF DELIVERY<br />
This course is available in the following mode of delivery - Oncampus.<br />
COURSE STRUCTURE<br />
STAGE 1<br />
Students are required to complete a total of 120 credit points<br />
during Stage 1. Students will select, in consultation with their<br />
nominated supervisor(s), and with the approval of the course<br />
coordinator, a number of postgraduate coursework units chosen<br />
from those available within the Faculty of Computing, Health and<br />
Science.<br />
STAGE 2<br />
The thesis component of this course is entirely research based and<br />
is equivalent to 1 year of full-time study. Students are required to<br />
continue re-enrolling in the thesis component until the thesis is<br />
submitted for examination.<br />

MASTER OF SCIENCE (MATHEMATICS AND<br />
PLANNING)<br />
Course Code N93<br />
Course Code 689<br />
The Master of Science (Mathematics and Planning) is a research<br />
Masters degree consisting of two years of full-time or equivalent<br />
part-time study for graduates of a relevant degree course. The<br />
focus of this course is applied statistics, the first year consists<br />
entirely of coursework, while the second year is devoted to<br />
research. Students should consult the course coordinator before<br />
making application for admission.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
A three year degree which includes a substantial mathematics<br />
component. Students with an appropriate honours degree may<br />
proceed directly to Stage 2.<br />
COURSE LOCATION<br />
This course is available on Joondalup Campus.<br />
MODE OF STUDY<br />

MODE OF DELIVERY<br />
This course is available in the following mode of delivery - Oncampus.<br />
COURSE STRUCTURE<br />
Stage one consists of 120 credit points(6 coursework units), stage<br />
two is the thesis component of this course, which is entirely<br />
research based and equivalent to 1 year of full-time study.<br />
STAGE 1<br />
Consists of two core units and four elective units to be chosen in<br />
consultation with the Course Coordinator. Not all elective units<br />
are offered in any particular year.<br />
Core Units<br />
MAT5111 Thesis Preparation: Mathematical Research 20<br />
MAT5194 Thesis Preparation: Mathematical Background 1 20<br />
Elective Units<br />
MAT5101 Multivariate Statistical Analysis 20<br />
MAT5102 Time Series Analysis 20<br />
MAT5106 Introduction to Geostatistics 20<br />
MAT5107 Advanced Independent Study 1 20<br />
MAT5114 Geostatistical Methods 20<br />
MAT5115 Modelling and Simulation 20<br />
With the approval of the course coordinator, one of the above<br />
elective units may be replaced by a 4000 level mathematics unit.<br />
STAGE 2<br />
The thesis component of this course is entirely research based and<br />
equivalent to 1 year of full-time study. Each semester students<br />
nominate if they wish to enrol into research thesis unit: MAT6200<br />
at 50 or 100% of full-time enrolment.<br />
Students are required to continue re-enrolling in the thesis<br />
component of their study until the thesis is submitted for<br />
examination.<br />
MAT6200 Masters Thesis 0<br />
During this year students write a research thesis under the<br />
supervision of a staff member. Available research areas currently<br />
include Mathematical Modelling, Image Analysis, Time Series<br />
Analysis, Spatial Data Analysis, Geostatistics and Spatial<br />
Modelling.<br />
Students who are unable to proceed beyond Stage 1 may be<br />
eligible to graduate with a Post Graduate Diploma of Science<br />
(Mathematics and Planning).<br />
