Renewal of registration
In calculating marks, General Regulation G.12.2 applies.
Apart from the prescribed coursework, a research project is an integral part of the study.
'n BSc in Wiskunde, Toegepaste Wiskunde of gelykstaande graad met ten minste 'n gemiddelde 60% in die finale jaar Wiskunde of Toegepaste Wiskunde vakke. Die finale jaar moet ten minste vier van die volgende derdejaarsvlak modules of gelykstaande bevat: parsiële differensiaalvergelykings, dinamiese stelsels (gewone differensiaalvergelykings), reële analise, komplekse analise, numeriese analise en kontinuum meganika. In die keuringsprosedure die kandidaat se volledige voorgraadse akademiese rekord sal oorweeg word.
The progress of all honours candidates is monitored biannually by the postgraduate coordinator/head of department. A candidate’s study may be terminated if the progress is unsatisfactory or if the candidate is unable to finish his/her studies during the prescribed period.
The BScHons degree is awarded with distinction to a candidate who obtains a weighted average of at least 75% in all the prescribed modules and a minimum of 65% in any one module.

This module aims at using advanced undergraduate mathematics and rigorously applying mathematical methods to concrete problems in various areas of natural science and engineering.
The module will be taught by several lecturers from UP, industry and public sector. The content of the module may vary from year to year and is determined by relevant focus areas within the Department. The list of areas from which topics to be covered will be selected, includes: Systems of differential equations; dynamical systems; discrete structures; Fourier analysis; methods of optimisation; numerical methods; mathematical models in biology, finance, physics, etc.
