About this course

Overview

This course will teach you how to harness the power of mathematics for real-world applications across engineering, computer science, health and other diverse fields.

You will develop a range of mathematical and computational skills, such as advanced calculus and linear algebra. You'll learn modelling and optimisation, network design and analysis, logistics, supply chain networks, transportation networks, computational mathematics, statistics and probability

This is an Advanced Science honours course, designed for high-performing students to both deepen and broaden their mathematics experience with research, leadership and entrepreneurship. It provides you with opportunities to undertake and source for-credit internships and immersive work experiences.

You can also undertake a student-led applied project, ranging from original research through to translational (entrepreneurial) science. The project will involve collaboration with industry partners and/or research leaders, to enhance your understanding of applied mathematics.

In addition, you can tailor your degree through electives, to deepen or broaden your expertise.

Upon completing your studies, you'll have the expertise to improve efficiencies in organisations involved in data analysis, industrial engineering, IT, statistical analysis and supply-chain management; and in other industries where mathematical applications are crucial.

This course also emphasises transferrable skills - including innovative and analytical thinking, problem-solving and effective communication - that will empower you to take on leadership roles in your career.
