Overview
This unit is designed to provide you with access to external Honours coursework units delivered by other Australian universities. These units are administered by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) either online via the Advanced Collaborative Environment (ACE) or face-to-face via the AMSI Summer School. This advanced level unit provides you with the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills in a specialised topic in the mathematical sciences that is not covered in another QUT Bachelor of Mathematics (Honours) coursework unit. Permission to enrol in this unit must be obtained from the Unit Coordinator.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Understand and employ the advanced theories, concepts and techniques that are relevant to a specialised topic in the mathematical sciences.
- Formulate problems relevant to the special topic in mathematical terms, and perform the subsequent analysis, starting from verbal, written, experimental and/or observational information.
- Demonstrate advanced level skills in using a planned approach to mathematical, analytic and creative problem solving.
- Articulate and communicate ideas using high-level mathematical notation and language, in written and/or oral forms.
Content
Learning Approaches
Depending on unit content and host institution, the approach to teaching and learning may differ slightly. Typically, the material presented will be context based, utilising examples from contemporary research and real-life applications. You will be expected to attend all lectures and tutorials as indicated by the teaching staff, as well as study in your own time. Units offered through the AMSI Advanced Collaborative Environment (ACE) will be delivered online via videoconferencing. Units offered through the AMSI Summer School will be delivered via face-to-face classes. You may also be encouraged to undertake online activities in your own time.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Student negotiated assessment
For units offered through the AMSI Advanced Collaborative Environment (ACE) assessment information is made available prior to the start of each semester on the AMSI Honours Courses webpage: http://highered.amsi.org.au/ace-hons-courses/. For units offered through the AMSI Summer School assessment information is made available prior to the start of the School on the webpage: https://ss.amsi.org.au/.
The assessment will generally consist of several smaller components and will be of a nature designed to provide you with a clear idea of your progress. The teaching staff will liaise with the MS10 Course Coordinator to ensure that content and assessment are appropriate and equitable in standard.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a commitment to undertaking academic work and assessment in a manner that is ethical, fair, honest, respectful and accountable.
The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Breaching QUT’s Academic Integrity Policy or engaging in conduct that may defeat or compromise the purpose of assessment can lead to a finding of student misconduct (Code of Conduct – Student) and result in the imposition of penalties under the Management of Student Misconduct Policy, ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
