Bachelor of Science (Mathematics)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Learn how to apply mathematical concepts – such as quantity, structure, space and change – to model and describe the behaviour of real-world complex systems and improve their operations.

In this course you will gain the knowledge and skills for careers in optimisation, as well as financial and industrial mathematics. You’ll learn how to apply mathematical and statistical principles and concepts in mathematics career areas – including operations research, statistics, numerical analysis and applied mathematical modelling – and to solve related problems in science, industry, commerce and government.

You’ll develop skills in mathematics and statistical methods to analyse and resolve problems in science, engineering and finance; and learn to think creatively to generate innovative solutions. In addition, you'll locate, extract and appraise evidence and scientific literature in relation to mathematical science, and use new technologies to gather data and communicate information.
