Overview

Designed for graduates with a background in mathematics and statistics, this degree provides the opportunity to consolidate and expand your existing mathematics and statistics knowledge while being equipped in the practice of mathematics in other disciplines such as computer science, business, science, and psychology. 

You will also develop skills in undertaking research on mathematical or statistical problems that arise in other disciplines, including how to effectively communicate and synthesise complex information with others. You will also complete a research or coursework-focused capstone project. 

See the course handbook for more information.

There is an opportunity to specialise further in areas including data science, financial mathematics, or applied statistics. Students who do not wish to choose a specialisation will work with the Academic Program Director to tailor your subject choices to align with your career goals and interests.

Special emphasis is placed on preparing graduates with practical experiences for employment across a range of industries.

You can specialise in a major by choosing from the following:

Applied Statistics (specialisation)

Your major in applied statistics will equip you with the essential skills and knowledge of a professional statistician: logic, problem-solving, mathematical and statistical modelling, experimental design and the ability to organise, analyse and interpret large amounts of data.

You will study subjects including estimation and hypothesis testing, applied probability and financial risk, linear and generalised models, statistical inference sample surveys, and experimental design.

The applied statistics major will equip you with strong computing and communication skills, and learn problem solving, critical thinking and analytical skills that are in demand across government and private sectors.

Accreditation & professional recognition

Accreditation for this newly developed course is currently being sought from the Australian Mathematical Society.
