-
Completed two years or more of an appropriate Engineering degree with at least 2 units/subjects in pure or applied mathematics (including one level 1/first year and one level 2/second year (or above) mathematics subjects of which only one subject can be a unit of statistics)
or -
Two years or more of a degree in Econometrics/Economics/ Actuarial study where mathematics and applied mathematics are part of the program (including one level 1/first year and one level 2/second year( or above) mathematics subjects of which only one subject can be a unit of statistics)
or -
A minimum of two years university study towards a degree including a sequence of at least two Mathematics subjects (including one level 1/first year and one level 2/second year (or above) mathematics subjects of which only one subject can be a unit of statistics) with at least three years recent training and work related to an applied mathematics background
and - Demonstrated interest in working with adolescents and/or working in training or educational settings and/or abilities to work with and manage people in a team environment.
