Our Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Advanced) is a degree for highly capable students who are passionate about maths and want to excel.
What will you do?
Alongside mathematical and statistical expertise, our advanced degree places a strong emphasis on research skills. You will:
- work with award-winning academics and researchers in state-of-the-art facilities
- access special programs designed for high-achieving students
- gain valuable exposure to mathematical sciences research culture
- take three Advanced Mathematical Perspectives courses.
Majors are available in:
- Applied mathematics
- Pure mathematics
- Statistics.
Note: You must maintain a GPA of 5.0 or you’ll be required to transfer to the Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences.
Where could it take you?
You will emerge with enhanced skills for either higher studies or expert roles in your chosen career. You could be a defence scientist or economic researcher. You might enter the growing field of gaming design and performance analysis. Perhaps you’ll figure out the mathematical model behind a scientific breakthrough or even win the Fields Medal.
Students commencing in July may have a slightly limited selection of courses.
