Bachelor of Mathematics/Bachelor of Science (Physics)

The Bachelor of Mathematics/Bachelor of Science (Physics) provides you with a deep understanding of the complementary areas of mathematics and physics. You’ll learn highly transferable skills in problem-solving, critical-thinking, analysis and optimisation that are in demand across all government and industry sectors. Graduates are particularly suited to careers involving mathematical modelling of physical systems.

Physics is fundamental to the study of all sciences and has a key role to play in generating and supporting new technologies. Physicists contribute solutions in a broad range of areas, from everyday concerns in public health and safety, to cutting-edge advances such as the discovery of the Higgs boson and quantum computing.

Studying Mathematics and Statistics will give you highly transferable skills in problem solving, data analysis, probability and variability, mathematical modelling, logistics and logic. The degree is flexible, you can take subjects from other disciplines to expand your career options. There are opportunities for scholarships from corporate partners, plus summer scholarships and undergraduate research projects with academic staff, access to programs offered by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute and inter-university courses via our Access Grid Room.

Double degrees aim to broaden your knowledge and skills base, and improve your career options in competitive, increasingly interactive fields. The programs are designed to enhance your educational, academic and professional qualifications whilst minimising the costs of your studies.
