Using maths to track cancer growth

'I’ve always loved mathematics and wanted to use it to make a real impact in healthcare. A highlight of my studies was taking part in the Vacation Research Experience Scheme, where I spent 10 weeks over summer mathematically modelling brain cancer growth in response to a new drug treatment and exploring ways to optimise outcomes. I got to present my research to peers and even travelled to London to showcase it internationally.'

Sammie's first-year experience

'The reason for choosing my particular course is plain and simple—I absolutely love maths! My degree is full of practical experiences. In my first year alone, I modelled COVID-19 cases and vaccination rates, wrote a proposal to the council about the logistics behind bungee jumping from the Story Bridge, and made an interactive app to support elderly users with online shopping. This is invaluable in preparing us for the workforce.'

Bachelor of Mathematics/Master of Data Science

Think maths. Think QUT.

QUT gives you powerful mathematical analysis tools with a real-world focus. When you graduate, you can use your new-found quantitative skills in a wide range of fields and really play an integral role in the world’s workplaces.

Maths at QUT

Study mathematics at QUT to be part of a high-performing group of students. Build your skills with advanced mathematical techniques, focus on solving real-world problems, and learn from internationally recognised maths academics and researchers.

Get involved in research

'When I joined QUT, for the first time in my life, I was surrounded by hundreds of people who were as passionate about mathematics as I was, which was amazing. I loved QUT's quality of research and how easy it was to get involved. From my second year, I contributed to research using mathematics to intersect with biology and medicine to solve real-world problems.'

Graduating with a strong skillset

'I chose QUT for its outstanding alumni community, networking opportunities and industry connections. I realised the mathematical techniques and analysis seen in my economics major would be complemented by my study of statistics. I simultaneously study two areas I am very passionate about and will graduate with a strong skillset for problem solving, number-crunching, and even experimental design.'

Push beyond your limits

'I chose to study a double degree in maths and IT because I had an interest in mathematics, and did small programming projects for fun in high school. Throughout my degree, I have been involved in in various IT and maths projects which built my confidence, serving as proof that I am capable of learning on the job and can deliver value to a community. I recommend QUT to others because there will always be something meaningful for you here, not just academically. It is a good place to find like-minded people and to push beyond your limits.'
