Graduate Certificate in Mathematics GradCertMath
Graduate Diploma of Mathematics GradDipMath
CSU’s postgraduate Mathematics programs are intended to provide a mechanism for people with a non-mathematical background to upgrade their quantitative and problem-solving skills.
About the course
These programs are designed for those persons for whom mathematics was not their major undergraduate study.
The courses will supplement the knowledge and skills base of the graduate who has found that their previous mathematical training is now limiting. It can provide a flexible, tailored program of study to meet the varied need of graduates in fields such as secondary education, technical, research and extension work.
These courses provide mathematical training for people who do not have a university background in mathematics. Graduates in other disciplines who find that they need to know and use mathematics in order to progress in their career will find that the course meets their needs. In addition, those graduates working in a technical area who find they need to broaden and deepen their understanding of mathematics in order to deal with the problems they meet in their work will benefit from this course.
These courses also provide an opportunity for permanent secondary teachers in another discipline wishing to retrain as secondary mathematics teachers or current secondary mathematics teachers who feel they need to upgrade their mathematics qualifications.
Professional recognition
Accreditation is currently being sought from NSWIT for accreditation as a Secondary Mathematics Teachers training course
