    About

    Our Bachelor of Mathematics provides you with a solid grounding in the theories, principles and technical skills essential to mathematical sciences. Preparing you for an exciting and unpredictable career interpreting numbers, shapes, patterns and relationships.

    You’ll build a deep knowledge of the abstract theories used in mathematics and statistical modelling. Learn fundamental concepts in calculus, algebra, statistics and data taming. You might even get the opportunity to define and interpret problems in our specialised Maths Clinic - where you'll develop appropriate solutions for real business problems.

    But it’s not all theory – you'll sharpen your technical and professional skills on real-world industry projects. You may even decide to pursue further research with an additional honours year.

    You’ll graduate with the expertise to apply your knowledge and skills on mathematical-based challenges across a variety of industries – in fields like biostatistics, business, marketing and education and more.

    Career

    Career outcomes

    Mathematical scientists are often in high demand by employers across a wide range of industries. Their exceptional problem-solving abilities and advanced technical skills in mathematical modelling and statistical analysis, make them valuable assets in finance and banking, business, technology, healthcare, engineering, government policy and research.

    You could pursue a career in meteorology, analysing weather patterns to make predictions and creating detailed reports for news stations and the public. You might pursue further study in teaching, inspiring the next generation of mathematicians. Or perhaps you’ll use your statistical expertise to interpret health data, using your findings to improve global wellbeing.

    Mathematicians can be found applying their knowledge and skills in a range of fields, including:

    • Economics
    • Engineering
    • Environmental science
    • Finance and banking
    • Healthcare and biostatistics
    • Market research and business intelligence
    • Materials science
    • Public health
    • Sports analytics
    • Technology and software development.

    You will also be ideally positioned to pursue further postgraduate research through a master or PhD program.

    Industry trends

    It's estimated that 70% of the fastest growing occupations will require STEM skills. Mathematics will be one of the most important tools to take advantage of future jobs and make a difference in our world (Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute, 2021).

    A wide range of trends, current and emerging, are driving the demand for mathematicians – across every industry. Advancements in areas like quantum computing, cybersecurity, predictive analytics, financial technologies, artificial intelligence, and biostatistics all depend upon the expertise of mathematicians to drive progress forward.

    The demand for fast, data-driven decision-making is becoming the norm for industries across the board. Employer interest in the application of artificial intelligence and big data technologies to achieve greater precision in their use and interpretation of data is creating a wealth of career opportunities for mathematicians to apply their expertise in these data-focused roles.
