About
Mathematics is the basis for successful decision-making and problem-solving independent of sector or industry. Mathematical and statistical models help us analyse information and forecast results in economics, finance, medicine and industrial processes. This analysis helps governments and businesses understand the factors behind important decisions.
The Bachelor of Mathematics will teach you highly transferable skills in problem-solving, data analysis, probability and variability, mathematical modelling, logistics and logic. The degree is flexible, allowing you to take subjects from other study areas; you can also choose to study a major in applied statistics, applied mathematics or pure mathematics.
Other opportunities include scholarships from corporate partners, summer scholarships and undergraduate research projects with academic staff, access to degrees offered by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) and inter-university courses via our Access Grid Room.
Graduates of the Bachelor of Mathematics are in demand across a range of industries including finance, defence and security, health care, and the IT sector.
