This page displays all the available documents for the Mathematics Applied - Foundation TQA 2 and Mathematics Applied TQA 3 courses.

The qualifications available in which an award can be received is:

  • Mathematics Applied TQA 3 (MTA315109) - [contributes to the calculation of Tertiary Entrance Ranks]
  • Mathematics Applied - Foundation TQA 2 (MTA215109)


Mathematics Applied (MTA315109) has a complexity level of TQA 3 and a size value of 15 (150 hours design time).

Mathematics Applied - Foundation (MTA215109) has a complexity level of TQA 2 and a size value of 15 (150 hours design time).

Mathematics Applied - Foundation
The primary aim of this course is for students to be able to apply the mathematics that they are studying to authentic real world problems. Practical modelling investigations outside the classroom are an important component of this course. Successful completion of this course should provide students with a strong background of skills that will enable them to study Mathematics Applied (TQA level 3) if they wish to further their studies in mathematics.

Mathematics Applied
The primary aim of this course is to develop students' ability to apply mathematics to real world problems. As mathematics is being used intensively and increasingly throughout our society it is important that students learn the skills of applying mathematics in problem situations outside of mathematics. The focus of this course is on applications of mathematics rather than on continued skill development.

Quality Assurance


The following processes will be facilitated by the TQA to ensure there is:
  • a match between the standards for achievement specified in the course and the standards demonstrated by students
  • community confidence in the integrity and meaning of the qualification.
Mathematics Applied (MTA315109) - the Authority gives course providers feedback about any systematic differences in the relationship of their internal and external assessments and, where appropriate, seeks further evidence through audit and requires corrective action in the future.

Mathematics Applied - Foundation (MTA215109) - Each provider will submit bodies of students' work sufficient to allow an assessment against a nominated range of criteria and the overall award to an annual review meeting organised by the TQA. The work, while not necessarily fully resolved, will be assessed by the provider against the range of nominated assessment criteria and the overall award. The TQA will give each provider guidance regarding the selection of students and the nominated criteria. The review meeting will provide advice about the provider's assessment standards. Providers are expected to act on this advice.
