About
Mathematics sits at the foundation of everyday life. The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences prepares students to harness the power of mathematics to drive quantifiable change in the wider world. More than just a theoretical degree, it equips students with in-demand skills that will be highly sought after not only in fields traditionally aligned with mathematics but in contemporary industries seeking insights from increasingly complex numerical information.
Students can choose from one of two majors:
- Statistics and Data Science
- Pure and Applied Mathematics
As one of Australia’s leading university science faculties, UTS Science is committed to teaching and research that creates a more sustainable world. When students enrol at UTS, they join a university that delivers global impact in STEM education and research and a faculty that produces scientists with the power to transform the profession, the globe and society.
Areas of study
Analysis, data, industrial optimisation, mathematics, mathematical analysis, mathematical modelling, numerical techniques, probability, programming, statistics, statistical modelling and data analysis.
Career opportunities
Business analyst; data analyst; data scientist; financial analyst; market analyst; mathematical modeller; programmer in diverse industries, including the financial sector, marketing, non-profit, and government at local, state and federal levels; quantitative analyst (finance); statistician.

ATAR profile
ATAR-based offers only (semester 1, 2024)
Use all ATAR profile data as a guide only; it provides a broad overview of the ATARs and selection ranks of previous Year 12 students admitted into that course. ATARs and selection ranks required for entry in 2024 may be different. If you are unsure about including a course among your preferences, contact the relevant institution.
- This ATAR profile table is in line with Commonwealth Government transparency requirements. It is based on offers to recent school leavers (ie completed Year 12 in the last 2 years) who were selected solely or partly on their ATAR. Note that some institutions further differentiate this information on their websites.
- The ATAR values exclude any adjustment factors.
- The selection ranks include the ATAR and any adjustment factors.

Study Options
At UTS Science, choice is the name of the game. With more than 20 degrees to choose from, students can create a study plan that reflects their personal and professional goals.
Read more about UTS Science Programs.
Specialist degrees: These highly focused courses take students on a deep dive into their chosen area of science. Choices include Environmental Biology, Forensic Science, Marine Biology and Climate Change, Mathematical Sciences, Medical Science and Molecular Biotechnology.
Bachelor of Science: With eight majors and extensive elective choices, the Bachelor of Science is for students who want to create a degree that’s uniquely theirs. Major choices (Physics, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, Mathematics, Medical Science, Flexible) are split between a Life Sciences stream and a Mathematical and Physical Sciences stream; students can pick and choose subjects to build a customised learning plan.
Bachelor of Advanced Science: Designed for high-achieving students, the Bachelor of Advanced Science delivers specialist learning in Pre-medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or Quantum Technologies. Students prepare for further study or for a career at the forefront of contemporary science.
Combined degrees: UTS Science or Mathematics degrees can be combined with another course in areas such as business, international studies, creative intelligence and innovation, engineering or law. A combined degree gives students two qualifications in one and expands their career potential, all in less time than it would take to complete two consecutive courses.
Where learning comes to life
Real-world experience: UTS Science is the home of hands-on learning. Course content combines theory, lab and practical experience, equipping students with the skills of their future professions. They’ll also have the chance to working alongside world-leading researchers and industry practitioners, building connections that count from early in their degrees.
World-leading facilities: UTS Science has undergone a massive upgrade as part of a billion-dollar redevelopment of the UTS City Campus. Students learn in award-winning, purpose-built teaching and research laboratories, including the UTS Science Super Lab and Hive Super Lab (all students), the Crime Scene Simulation Labs (Forensic Science students), the Microstructural Analysis Unit (Physics students) and the Surgical and Anatomical Science Facility (Advanced Science students). They can also access a range of collaborative spaces for group work and social activities.
Read more about our facilities.
Global and internship opportunities: Science is a global profession. At UTS, we encourage our students to develop a global mindset by offering travel and internship opportunities that can take them around the world. They can spend one or two sessions studying overseas (Global Exchange), engage with local and international leadership and global citizenship experiences (BUILD) or get a taste of international internships, either virtually or face to face (Global Short Programs).
Read more about UTS Global and Internship opportunities.
Getting ready to study
Bridging courses: Students can build skills and confidence in preparation for university study with an intensive bridging course(s) in biology, mathematics, physics or chemistry. Read more about UTS Bridging courses.
Scholarships: We’re committed to celebrating achievement and removing barriers to education. That’s why UTS and UTS Science offer a wealth of scholarships for high achievers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, and students experiencing disadvantage. Read more about UTS scholarships and UTS Science scholarships.
Course start dates: In most cases, local students can commence their UTS Science studies at the beginning of the year (February/March) or mid-year (July/August). Some courses are also available in summer.
Course updates
Courses are added and cancelled throughout the admissions year and course details are subject to change. Check the UAC course search regularly.
