A Bachelor of Science (Mathematical Science) provides you with a strong background in key analytical techniques that have contemporary applications such as the treatment and interpretation of data and the modelling of real-world problems. You will develop skills that allow you to model and solve real world problems using mathematical techniques and have the opportunity to specialise in mathematics, statistics or a combination of both. This will provide you with a wide range of career options in commercial and government institutions, which require highly-skilled problem-solvers. The Mathematical Science program provides you with a strong background in key analytical techniques that have contemporary applications, such as the handling and interpretation of data and the modelling of real-world programs, such as global warming.

Biostatistician Biostatisticians are specialists in the evaluation of data used for scientific evidence. They provide the mathematical framework to interpret scientific data generated in biology, medical sciences, public health and other health sciences. Data Analyst / Scientist As a data analyst/scientist you will explore data to make discoveries and gain new insights, forecast future needs and emerging trends, and thus equip managers to make informed decisions. Program Developer, Computer Engineer, Computer Scientist The combination of mathematical skills with computational abilities gives immediate benefits in the pursuit of a career in these fields. Mathematics is becoming an increasingly important aspect of many programming jobs; analytical skills, the abilities to understand and simplify, to comprehend and solve difficult problems are highly valued. Finance The use of sophisticated quantitative techniques in the financial sectors such as banking, the stock market, financial planning, and insurance requires trained graduates in mathematics and statistics. Duties include modelling risk, optimising returns and predicting future gains.
