Overview

Mathematics is the basis for successful decision-making and problem-solving across all sectors and industries. 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.

See the course handbook for more information.

Other opportunities include scholarships from corporate partners, summer scholarships and undergraduate research projects with academic staff, and access to programs offered by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) ACE Network.
