The Graduate Certificate in Mathematics develops your quantitative skills, advancing from a high school calculus level of mathematics to the higher level required in professions such as finance, insurance and engineering.
The Graduate Certificate in Mathematics provides a flexible study program that can be tailored to meet your professional needs. It includes topics in algebra and calculus that every advanced user of mathematics needs to know. You'll be introduced to a mathematical computer software program, Maple, and encouraged to use this when solving more advanced problems.
This mathematics degree is delivered flexibly so you can combine work and part-time study. You can also choose to study just one subject in an academic session or, with approval, fast-track completion of your degree by undertaking two or more subjects per session.
Your graduate certificate has been designed for convenient online study. Subjects are taught using blended learning techniques including video-captured lectures, online meetings, subject forums and online subject resources.
Charles Sturt University has an excellent national reputation in computing and mathematics , with a research profile that is ranked at world level according to the most recent Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) evaluation in 2015. You'll receive personal engagement and support from dedicated professional educators.
What jobs can you do with a mathematics degree? Well, when you graduate from the Graduate Certificate in Mathematics you could explore roles in many fields, such as finance, engineering, epidemiology, insurance and meteorology. The course also provides additional skills for those who teach mathematics or aspire to. However, to formally add mathematics as a second high school teaching area, teachers must complete the Graduate Diploma of Mathematics. Qualified secondary mathematics teachers are in high demand throughout Australia.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
