Higher Certificate

The programme 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 programme and provides a solid background in the fundamentals of mathematics. The programme 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 programme is suitable for individuals who have already studied some mathematics at third level within another discipline. Graduates of the programme are eligible to enter the part-time ordinary degree programme in Mathematics or transfer to the full-time honours degree programmes in the School.

(In addition, the School of Mathematical Sciences 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 maev.maguire@tudublin.ie)
