Higher Certificate in Mathematics

The course is designed for those with an interest in the mathematical sciences or who require a better understanding of mathematics for their jobs and wish to improve their mathematical skills for their future career. It is a single-stage, add-on course and provides a solid background in the fundamentals of mathematics. The course is two years in duration and requires the successful completion of eight semester-long modules, four of which are taken each year (two each semester). The modules are delivered in the evenings, making the programme attractive to those in full-time employment. The course is suitable for individuals who have already studied some mathematics at third level within another discipline. Graduates of the course are eligible to enter the part-time ordinary degree course in Mathematics or transfer to the full-time honours degree courses in the School.

In addition, School of Mathematics and Statistics offers the opportunity to study any of the modules from this programme and other programmes in the School, as individual Continuing Professional Development certificates. For more information please contact [email protected].
