Course Structure
Qualification for this award requires the successful completion of 240 credit points which include the units listed in the recommended sequences below.
Non-recent school leavers who have not studied mathematics, or those students who have completed HSC General Mathematics, or some students who have undertaken HSC Mathematics but have only achieved bands 2 or 3 may benefit from taking the following unit as an elective:
This unit will cover basic mathematical concepts, such as algebraic, graphical, trigonometric and arithmetic skills that are needed in a variety of contexts. In any one semester, six areas on content will be considered from the following - Basic Numerical Operations, Basic Algebraic Operations, Functions and Graphs, Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations and Quadratic Functions, Basic Trigonometry, Financial Mathematics and Basic Statistics. In addition to the mathematical content, students will be exposed to strategies that will help them to learn to study mathematics effectively and also to lessen any mathematical anxiety problems that they may experience.
Please seek further advice from the Head of Program.

Electives for majors and sub-majors
Electives for majors and sub-majors may not be available on all campuses and may create timetable clashes (given the range of possible progression options). Where an elective cannot be taken, the Head of Program may approve equivalent units where there is considerable overlap. Such units might be found within the School at UWS or cross-institutional study.
Please note: Majors and sub-majors are optional.
Majors
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
Sub-majors
Web Application Development (for Computing Students)
Web Application Development (for Non-Computing Students)
Health Information Applications
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
Sub-major elective spaces
Elective units may be used toward obtaining an additional approved sub-major (40 credit points). UWS offers sub-majors in a range of areas including Sustainability and Indigenous Studies. Refer to the Unit Set Index.
Students can apply for these unit sets using the Course Variation Form, which is listed under Enrolment Forms on the Student forms web page.
