COURSE DESCRIPTION
Highlights
- Gain specialist analytical skills recognised by employers as essential for today’s complex world.
- Combine underlying mathematical theory with modelling, computational skills, and the latest computer technology to solve real-world problems.
- Develop communication, problem solving, critical thinking and teamwork skills.
- Be involved in real-world applications and computer simulations in research projects.
- Find employment opportunities across a wide range of areas, such as finance, investment, information technology, environmental management, health, marketing, logistics, defence, media, education and research.
Mathematics is one of the oldest pure sciences and is the technical language of science, engineering and business. With qualifications in mathematics, employers recognise that you are equipped with the specialist analytical skills for today’s complex world.
QUT’s Mathematical Sciences School is a leader in delivering world-class teaching and research outcomes, offering you advanced, relevant and modern courses designed for the real world, underpinned by our award-winning research.
Our undergraduate course combines underlying theory with modelling, computational skills and the latest computer technology to enable you to solve real-world problems and prepare you for your future career. Skill development in communication, problem solving, critical thinking and teamwork form an integral part of our courses.
Why choose this course?
This course provides high-quality learning for students who want to combine their studies in mathematics with considerable involvement in real-world applications and computational simulations. Computer simulation and visualisation techniques can be used in many research projects including bone fracture and wound healing, and modelling saltwater intrusion in coastal systems.
This major introduces you to a wide range of concepts in mathematical foundations, modelling and computational methods, and provides strong links between theory and application. You will investigate underlying mathematical theory to see how it can be applied to real-world scenarios from many fields of study including the physical and chemical sciences, biology, engineering and the social sciences. You will also develop computational solution and simulation methods to couple with modelling skills in order to investigate large-scale applied problems.
Customise your degree
Foster your passion and shape your career through complementary study areas. As well as choosing a major area of study, your course includes a second study area, which can be either a second major or double minor.
A second major can complement your major area of study, giving you the opportunity to develop a significant depth of knowledge and skills in two discipline areas.
Mathematics Second Major
- ?Data Science provides the necessary skills to be a data scientist including statistical methods and data visualisation, computational tools for and data management techniques for large datasets, and high-performance computing resources and techniques. This unique skill-set in statistics and computing will allow you to cope with sophisticated models applied to complex and/or large datasets.
Careers and outcomes
As a graduate of the Bachelor of Mathematics (Applied and Computational Mathematics) you will find employment opportunities across a wide range of areas, such as finance, investment, information technology, environmental management, health, marketing, logistics, defence, media, education and research. In addition to your knowledge and abilities in mathematics, you will also be highly valued for your analytical and problemsolving skills.
