About
Gain a deeper understanding of the complementary areas of mathematics and physics, leading to a range of career options including those that involve mathematical modelling of physical systems.
The Bachelor of Mathematics will equip you with highly transferable skills in problem-solving, data analysis, probability and variability, mathematical modelling, logistics and logic. You can also take advantage of opportunities on offer including scholarships from corporate partners, summer scholarships, and access to programs offered by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) ACE Network.
During the Bachelor of Science (Physics) you have the choice to study a general physics program or foundation subjects with a major specialisation. This degree investigates the basis for making, interpreting and extending observations relating to the behaviour and structure of matter.
The department operates a 0.4m telescope equipped with modern electronic cameras and photometers and many physicists at UOW work under the aegis of the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM). ISEM is recognised as a flagship research strength of UOW.Areas of study
