Credit CSU Credit Policy
Graduate Diploma of Mathematics
For those students who are studying the course to retrain as secondary mathematics teachers, credit may be given for two subjects studied in their first degree.
Graduate Certificate in Mathematics
Standard CSU Credit policy apply.
Articulation
The Graduate Diploma and the Graduate Certificate make up an articulated set of courses and credit is given in each higher level course for the subjects completed in the lower.
Graduation requirement
Graduate Diploma of Mathematics
To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 64 points.
Graduate Certificate in Mathematics
To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 32 points.
Course structure
The articulated course consists of the following:
Graduate Certificate in Mathematics
This course consists of 32 points. Students are required to complete the two core subjects and two restricted electives with at least one at level 3 or higher.
Core subjects
MTH101 Computer Aided Mathematics 1
MTH102 Computer Aided Mathematics 2
Restricted Electives
EMM441 Curriculum Methods 1:Mathematics*
MTH203 Numerical Methods

*Only appropriate for practising secondary teachers
Graduate Diploma of Mathematics
This course consists of 64 points. Students are required to complete the two core subjects and either a teaching stream (48 points) or a quantitative stream (48 points). Students must complete at least four subjects at level 3 or higher.
Core subjects
MTH101 Computer Aided Mathematics 1
MTH102 Computer Aided Mathematics 2
Students in the teaching stream (for retraining as a secondary mathematics teacher), must also complete the curriculum subject, the professional experience and at least two restricted electives.
Curriculum subject
EMM441 Curriculum Methods 1: Mathematics
Professional Experience
EPT442 : Professional Experience 2
Teachers who have been teaching mathematics across years 7-12 for at least one year may apply for proficiency credit based on professional experience. This will be assessed by the subject coordinator for the subject in the Faculty of Education.
Restricted Electives
These subjects are focussed on extending the student's mathematics skills. Students must complete a minimum of two mathematics discipline subjects from the list below.
MTH203 Numerical Methods
MTH218 Multivariable Calculus
MTH220 Ordinary Differential Equations
MTH307 Mathematical Modelling
MTH309 Operations Research
MTH328 Complex Analysis
MTH418 Topics in Calculus
MTH419 Linear Algebra
STA401 Postgraduate Scientific Statistics
Two unrestricted elective subjects.
Students who do not wish to study more than the six subjects required by the New South Wales Institute of Teachers (NSWIT) may apply to the course coordinator for credit for two subjects studied in their first degree.
Students in the quantitative stream (to improve their quantitative skills), must also complete six restricted electives.
Restricted Electives
Students must complete six restricted elective subjects with a minimum of four at level 3 or higher. The restricted elective subjects are those approved by the course coordinator, including but not restricted to
