Overview
This unit is designed to provide you with access to external mathematics coursework units delivered by other Australian universities. These units are administered by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) online via the Advanced Collaborative Environment (ACE). 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 mathematics coursework unit. Permission to enrol in this unit must be obtained from the MXN403 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
You will undertake advanced level coursework in a specialised topic in the mathematical sciences. The unit is delivered and coordinated by the host institution (another Australian university) in consultation with the MXN403 Unit Coordinator. Unit content information is made available prior to the start of semester on the webpage: https://rhed.amsi.org.au/ace/.
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. AMSI Advanced Collaborative Environment (ACE) units will be delivered online via videoconferencing. You may also be encouraged to undertake online activities in your own time.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback will be provided by academic staff through summative assessment tasks and through formative feedback during timetabled classes. You will also have opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and self-reflection to support your learning and skills development.

Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Student negotiated assessment
This assessment will provide you with the opportunity to apply mathematical/statistical skills acquired in your chosen AMSI unit to obtain and communicate solutions to relevant theoretical and practical problems. It will generally consist of several smaller components and be of a nature designed to provide you with a clear idea of your progress. Detailed assessment information is made available prior to the start of each semester on the webpage: https://rhed.amsi.org.au/ace/. The teaching staff will liaise with the MXN403 Unit Coordinator to ensure that content and assessment are appropriate and equitable in standard.
The use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools is prohibited during this assessment.
Academic concessions and extensions will be handled by the AMSI subject coordinator in consultation with the MXN403 Unit Coordinator.
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.

Risk Assessment Statement
There are no extraordinary risks associated with the classroom/lecture activities in this unit.
Course Learning Outcomes
This unit is designed to support your development of the following course/study area learning outcomes.MS10 Bachelor of Mathematics (Honours)
- Demonstrate and apply advanced knowledge and skills in mathematical sciences to critically analyse and solve complex problems within the discipline or in cross-disciplinary fields where mathematics underpins innovation
Relates to: Student negotiated assessment - Communicate complex concepts, methods and findings in the mathematical sciences clearly and effectively to a range of audiences including mathematicians, industry professionals and the general public, using a range of academic, professional, and technical formats
