Bachelor
The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences is an exciting and modern degree, which enables students with a strong interest in mathematics, statistics, and data to grow and develop skills that are in high demand in the modern work force. The basis is a comprehensive foundation of core mathematical competencies. The foundation is developed further in one of two Majors: Statistics and Data Science, Pure and Applied Mathematics. More importantly, the foundation ensures graduates have the knowledge and skills to develop and adapt in the rapidly changing work environment. This course is strongly focussed on the application of cutting-edge mathematical techniques to real-world problems. The programme draws on the established research strengths at UTS in applied mathematics and statistics, providing a unified and interactive mathematics education for a diverse cohort of students. The core provides a broad mathematical foundation, while each major provides depth of study.
Career options include data scientist, statistician, data analyst, financial analyst, market analyst, quantitative analyst (finance), mathematical modeller, business analyst, programmer in diverse industries including the financial sector, marketing, non-profit organisations, and government at local, state, and federal levels.
Students must complete 144 credit points made up of 84 credit points of core subjects, a 36-credit-point major and 24 credit points of electives. Students studying this course have an opportunity to undertake an and receive academic credit for their placement off campus (an external business or research institute) or on campus (UTS research institutes or departments), in a capacity relevant to their academic studies.
