Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences

Mathematics is both a logical and creative pursuit. It's about curiosity, challenge, perseverance and passion. Millions of industries around the world depend on mathematical scientists. They analyse and interpret patterns, predict and model outcomes, solve problems and drive human progress.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences challenges you to explore the full breadth and depth of mathematical learning. You will:

• learn from award-winning researchers and teachers in state-of-the-art facilities
• build fundamental statistical and mathematical knowledge
• hone your creativity, rigour, logical thinking, professionalism and research skills
• delve into abstract theories that underpin modern science
• create, collect, analyse and model data

Majors are available in: Applied Mathematics; Pure Mathematics; and Statistics.

Where could it take you?

Our maths graduates go on to all sorts of fascinating careers in technology-led industries. You could crunch numbers for business start-ups as a data scientist or work on modelling to predict the weather. You might be an actuary, applying probability and statistics to insurance and banking. Perhaps you'll design digital games or pursue rocket science.

Students who perform well can undertake an additional year of study to obtain an Honours Degree of the Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences. An honours qualification is highly valued by employers and is suitable preparation for students who wish to proceed to postgraduate studies. The honours year includes a major project.
