I am studying for a BSc in Mathematics. I'd like your advice on
which field of mathematics i should concentrate on and which units i should 
choose during my studies, given the fact that i am interested in 
procedeeing into a masters degree in Chaos theory.

I wish to stay in academia and maybe proceed to a doctora.

What are your career goals? Do you wish to stay in academia? Seek
employment in industry?

Well first off, Chaos is a subset of the larger topic "Dynamical
Systems" certainly things like ODE, PDE, Numerical analysis will be
vital -- basically if its a math course that physics guys would be
interested in -- so should you be.

For more specized course work, let me offer this suggestion.

As soon as possible find a professor who oversees undergraduate
research, and get involved. Tell him you are interested in doing some
kind of independent research project, and you're looking for something
to get involved in, ask if he has any papers by other undergraduates
you can read. Of course early in your studies you will be in over your
head... reading things that you only partially understand... but let
that guide you in your more advanced course selections. Do not wait
until grad school to get involved in some kind of research! Once you
have attached yourself to a professor whom you personally like, whom
takes the time to help you, etc, let his research interests guide your
advanced course selections.

What is ODE and PDE ?

ODE and PDE stand for Ordinary Differential Equations and Partial
Differential Equations.

What school are you attending (or plan to attend) they may already
have a concentration that is appropriate for your desired goal.

Chaos theory also can follow out of real analysis--which is a
prerequisite for those going on in advanced math, probability, or
statistics.
