The Bachelor of Mathematics teaches highly transferable skills in problem-solving, data analysis, probability and variability, mathematical modelling, logistics and logic. The degree is flexible, so you can take subjects from other disciplines to expand your career options. Applied Statistics uses mathematical concepts and methods to develop scientific experiments, sample surveys, medical clinical trials and environmental studies. It uses mathematical models of variation to enable analysis and forecasting in many industries. The Mathematics major gives you quantitative skills that are in demand across all industries and serves as an initial preparation for employment as a professional mathematician. You will study subjects in applied mathematics, pure mathematics, and statistics. You will learn problem-solving, critical thinking and analytical skills that are in demand across all government and private sectors. A major in applied statistics equips you with the essential skills and knowledge of a professional statistician: logic, problem-solving, mathematical modelling, experimental design and the ability to manipulate, analyse and interpret large amounts of data. You will study subjects including estimation and hypothesis testing, applied probability and financial risk, linear models, statistical inference and sample surveys and experimental design. You will gain strong computing and communication skills. You can also study Mathematics or Statistics as part of a double major with another discipline.

Applicants need to have achieved the required score in a qualification equivalent to the completion of 13 years of schooling in Australia. In order to succeed in your chosen course, it is assumed you have completed relevant subjects in your senior high school studies or other relevant qualifications. This is particularly important for degrees which have a strong basis in Mathematics or Science. You must be able to demonstrate skills in English to satisfy course entry requirements.
