Postgraduate Coursework
Course Times The timetable for most of the MScTech courses will be determined at a meeting in Room 4082, Red Centre, on Friday 25th July at 1.00pm. For the convenience of part-time and full-time students, MStats classes are typically taught from 5:30pm to 8:00pm on weekdays during semester. Please consult the lecturer in charge for other courses. Course work degrees and theses The Master of Science & Technology, Master of Statistics, Master of Financial Mathematics, Master of Biostatistics and the Postgraduate Diplomas in Physical Oceanography, are coursework degrees. Although they involve theses or projects, the main emphasis is on increasing the student's base of knowledge; the thesis or project serves as an introduction to independent research and is usually largely expository in nature. Such theses or projects are assessed internally within the School. Reviews of progress For coursework degrees and qualifying programs, satisfactory completion of the courses involved constitutes satisfactory progress. In those degree or qualifying programs that also require a theses or directed research work, it is expected that progress on this component of the program will be closely monitored by the Director of Graduate Studies and his or her professional colleagues. Re-enrolment A re-enrolment is necessary when the enrolment period opens and certainly before the next Semester starts. You should e-mail Julie Hebblewhite, Student Affairs Manager j.hebblewhite@unsw.edu.au with the courses you wish to enrol in, if you have not completed your program. Please be sue that the courses are required for your program. If you are unsure you can contact pg.MathsStats@unsw.edu.au. Upgrading Students whose progress is good may upgrade from (for example) MSciTech to M.Sc on the recommendation of the School and in agreement with the Higher Degree Committee of the Faculty of Science and Technology. |
