Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences
The Bachelor of Mathematical Science has been specifically designed for those seeking the high level of mathematical and statistical training required in today's high technology workplaces. The degree content has been designed to meet this need, providing a fixed pathway through the study of the mathematical sciences at levels I, II and III. The first year provides the foundation of Mathematics and Statistics. The second year further develops the fundamental tools of Mathematics and Statistics. Third year allows specialisation into the streams of Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics or Statistics. Graduates may find employment in industry and commerce, government establishments, public service, teaching and research.
It is possible for high achieving students to undertake an additional year of study and obtain a Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences with Honours. An Honours qualification is highly valued by employers and is a suitable preparation for students who wish to proceed to postgraduate studies. The Honours year includes a major project.
Mathematical sciences courses are in the areas of applied mathematics, pure 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.
No double/combined degrees are available with Mathematical Sciences at this time.
