11 Mathematics and Physical Science Degree Programs in New Zealand

Topics in advanced mathematics. Techniques and applications covering the classical core of mathematics and its modern developments and applications. Details are available from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Techniques and applications covering the classical core of mathematics and its modern developments and applications.

The aim is to develop confidence and capability in the concepts and techniques of modern mathematics and its applications. Calculus and linear algebra provides the foundation for future study in mathematics and also the application of mathematics in other disciplines.

Selected topics in physical and analytical chemistry that may include spectroscopy, photochemistry, quantum mechanics, computational chemistry, instrumental analysis, astrochemistry, biosensors, marine and atmospheric chemistry.

Advanced topics in many-body physics: the quantum ideal gas, classical and quantum transport phenomena, and phase transitions in interacting systems. Physics of Earth’s atmosphere, our space environment, the Sun, and space plasma. The course provides students with a physical understanding of interactions in the Sun-Earth system.

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a three-year undergraduate degree which enables each student to develop his or her own interests in a science subject (science major) and related subjects. Students have the flexibility to combine their major subject with other science subjects, as well as subjects from other disciplines across the University.

An introduction to modern structural chemical science covering: states of matter: gas, liquid, solid, solutions; atomic structure; chemical bonding: stereochemistry, isomerism, conformational analysis; methods of structural determination: spectroscopy (electronic absorption, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance), mass spectrometry; colloids.

Get a degree that's recognised worldwide and contribute to knowledge in your field. A Master of Science (MSc) will develop your technical, laboratory and academic writing skills to prepare you for a career in science. The Master of Science by Coursework and Thesis - MSc will take you between two and two and half years of full-time study or up to four years part-time. In the first year of your MSc, you'll take several courses related to your specialist subject area.

The Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences is New Zealand’s only computing and mathematical science degree taught over four years. That extra year gives you the chance to drill more deeply into your specialist area and add papers that will complement your main focus.

The key goal of the course is to investigate how teachers can engage students in mathematical inquiry to raise their achievement. Online readings and activities will cover: communication and participation in the mathematics inquiry classroom grouping arrangements and student perspectives planning for learning, including tools, tasks and representations. This course will build on the Ministry of Education’s Best Evidence Synthesis Exemplar 1, which promotes best practices in teaching mathematics.

This course is intended to support teachers to develop mathematical content knowledge and adapt mathematical tasks to implement in the classroom. The course consists of nine workshops.These courses can be run either as a 1 day (6 hours) course during the school holidays, or as 3 separate after school sessions (2 hours each). This will be run Zoom.

Our Master of Applied Statistics (MAppStat) is designed to train you in a range of advanced techniques and to provide you with an appreciation of the variety of work undertaken by professional statisticians and consultants. It is made up of both coursework and practical training, allowing you to develop skills in research and consultancy. You’ll then apply these skills in a work placement in a relevant government department or business.
