The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Honours) can be completed after meeting the requirements of the 3-year specialist degree and the progression requirements for Honours.

Students are required to complete 24 credit points of coursework and a 24 credit point research project completed under the direction of a supervisor who is an expert in the selected topic and who guides the research throughout the year.
