Career Opportunities
Mathematics graduates are employed across a wide range of areas. These include, but are not limited to, finance, investment, information technology, environmental management, health, marketing, logistics, defence, media, education and research. In addition to their knowledge and skills in mathematics, graduates are also highly valued for their analytical and problem-solving skills. Development of skills in communication, problem-solving, critical thinking and teamwork form an integral part of the course.
Favourable career outcomes for Bachelor of Mathematics graduates are likely due to the current demand for qualified statisticians and mathematicians.
Recommended Study
Maths C is recommended.
Course Design
The course structure is flexible in nature so that you can choose to study only mathematics units or include some units from another area of interest, such as science, business or information technology.
In the first year you will study core units in mathematics and statistics. These core units include studies in calculus, algebra, vectors and matrices, computational mathematics, data analysis and statistical modelling.
You will be able to design your program to suit your interests and career aspirations by combining advanced units from a number of the following areas of specialisation:
Applied Mathematics
Mathematical techniques that can be used to solve real-world problems.
Computational Mathematics
Computers and numerical techniques used to find solutions to complex problems which cannot be solved analytically.
Discrete Mathematics
The mathematics of numbers, including study of sets, fields, ring and groups.
Financial Mathematics
A wide variety of mathematical techniques used in applications within the financial area.
Mathematical Modelling
The utilisation of mathematical techniques to develop a model or explanation of a real-world problem which can then be tested.
Operations Research
Optimising complex systems including queuing, scheduling or allocation of resources.
Scientific Computation and Visualisation
Supercomputing, large-scale scientific modelling and creating graphical representations using visualisation techniques.
Statistics
Collecting data in an appropriate format, experimental design, analysis of data and using data to make predictions.
Statistical Modelling
Building and analysing models of systems involving probability and variables.
Professional Recognition
Membership of the Australian Mathematical Society, the Statistical Society of Australia Inc and the Australian Society for Operations Research is available.
Mathematics Bursaries
Students enrolled in this course can apply for industry-sponsored bursaries. These bursaries are awarded to Australian citizens or permanent residents on a competitive basis. Applications should be submitted by 1 December of the year preceding entry to the course.
