Programme Overview


The UniSIM mathematics programme offers graduates a rigorous and broad foundation in the three main pillars of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics.
 
After completing the core/foundation courses the programme allows graduates to explore in greater depth any of or a combination of the these three important pillars via a range of elective courses that includes diverse topics such as financial mathematics, mathematics in computing, analysis, abstract algebra, advanced applied mathematics, further statistics and probability, number theory and mathematical logic.
 
As all foundational mathematics is re-examined and reviewed within the compulsory core level 1 mathematics courses, anyone who meets the general university entry requirement with an interest in learning mathematics can join the programme. In particular an A-level pass in mathematics is NOT required for joining the programme.
 
 
Refer to general admission criteria for undergraduate programme.
Basic Degree
To graduate with a basic degree, students are required to complete a total of 130 credit units (cu) of courses, inclusive of 10 cu of university core courses.
 
The breakdown of the cu to be completed is:
  • 70 cu of Compulsory courses;
  • 50 cu of Elective courses; and
  • 10 cu of University Core courses.
 
The curriculum is structured such that:
  • Level 1 courses consist of a basic suite of four courses which covers all aspects of foundational mathematics and statistics.
  • Level 2 courses consist of a set of core courses in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics that will prepare students for higher level mathematics courses, together with a number of elective courses in financial mathematics, mathematics in computing and computer programming in C++.
  • Level 3 courses consist of a collection of advanced elective courses such as graph theory, complex analysis, optimisation, logic, number theory, applied probability, where students can choose courses to suit their own interests and abilities.​

The mathematics degree programme does not qualify you as an MOE school teacher but focuses on mathematical content which develops a rich and fascinating skill set that is widely applicable.

Mathematics can and is often studied for its own merit and so offers graduates a personal and fascinating insight into the very fabric of reasoning as well as imparting graduates strong analytical skills that can be exploited in many diverse areas such as teaching, research, finance, management, logistics, computing and so on.
A UniSIM mathematics degree is the ideal first degree. It prepares you with strong quantitative/analytic and problem solving skills which are highly sought after in many diverse fields including finance, management, logistics, research, computing, IT and of course, teaching.
