The Graduate Certificate in Mathematics aims to increase students’ quantitative skills. It aims to take students from a high school calculus level of mathematics to the higher level required in various professions; for example engineering, finance, insurance, epidemiology and meteorology.

The course allows students to choose from a selection of mathematical and statistical subjects which build in depth of understanding and complexity of their applications. While studying these subjects, the course aims to enhance students’ problem solving skills. Students will be able to analyse a problem, select and use an appropriate method and understand the limitations of the selected method. Mathematical and statistical software packages are integrated into many subjects, thus providing practical skills and experience that students can use in their current or future careers.

• Applicants are required to have a bachelor degree, OR a diploma and work experience relevant to the course, or equivalent
  AND
• Within the last 10 years, applicants must have completed a secondary or tertiary mathematics discipline subject that includes calculus (for example, HSC Mathematics Advanced, VCE Mathematical Methods or MTH400 Introductory Mathematics). HSC Mathematics Standard or equivalent is not sufficient. Applicants not meeting this requirement may be admitted provided they enrol in MTH400 Introductory Mathematics as their first subject in the degree.

<h4>Verify your documents</h4>
<p>If you are an international applicant, you can submit scanned verified copies or scanned original copies of all your official documentation, except for the courses listed below.</p>
<p>The following information explains if your documents do need to be verified. This is important, as documents not correctly verified as a "true and accurate" copy will result in delays in the processing of your application and its consideration for admission. Please don't send originals as we don't return documents.</p>

<p><strong>For international documents/qualifications:</strong></p>
<ul>

<li>Australian Justice of the Peace with a registration number.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How should the authorised officer verify each document?</h4>
<p>On each page you are submitting, they must write:</p>

<p>Then sign and print the following details:</p>
<ul>
<li>name</li>
