Science, technology, engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are heralded as key drivers of future innovation and growth. The Graduate Certificate in Mathematics is designed as the first in a nested set of programs to enable existing teachers to retrain to teach Mathematics. It can also be studied as a pathway for students who want to deepen their knowledge of Mathematics but have not studied Mathematics at an undergraduate level. The program covers areas such as Number, Algebra, Geometry Statistics, and Calculus. It develops the capacity of students to apply advanced mathematical knowledge in order to design and solve authentic problems.
