Science (Mathematical Science) (Mathematics and Statistics), Bachelor

Mathematical and statistical skills are highly sought after in fields such as science, information technology, business analysis, and public sector roles like policy or data advising. This program fosters a flexible mindset, technical expertise, and a comprehensive understanding of how mathematics and statistics apply across diverse contexts. Students gain a balanced foundation in both disciplines, integrating applied analytical methods, computational skills, and opportunities for consulting and research that align with industry and community needs. The degree's flexible structure allows for a second major, enhancing comprehension of how these skills intersect with other fields, and includes options for a research-intensive honours year or progression to a Master's program.Key benefits include practical training in real-world modelling, coding, and communication; the ability to apply quantitative methods to another discipline through a second major; and strong employability due to transferable skills and digital literacy. Graduates are prepared for careers in banking, finance, insurance, research, government, computing, environmental mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, teaching, health sciences, IT, or law, with further opportunities in areas like engineering, health, and business as outlined by the Australian Mathematical Science Institute.
