Overview

This program is designed for those seeking a high level of mathematical and statistical training. The program provides a foundation in mathematics and statistics. Students also have the option of majoring in pure mathematics, applied mathematics or statistics. Applied mathematics courses cover topics that aim to achieve a balance between mathematical theories and practical applications of mathematics in the world around us. Pure mathematics courses are fundamental to applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, mathematical physics and many other areas of application and they also offer valuable training in rigour and logical thinking. Statistics courses provide the training to enable graduates to solve real-world problems by appropriately collecting, analysing and modelling data.
The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences is an AQF Level 7 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 3 years.

Academic Program Rules for Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences

There shall be a Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences.
