  • Develop advanced knowledge and skills that are highly sought after by employers.

Studied at university or TAFE before?

Bachelor of Science is a new course, and we’re only offering first year units in 2013.

This means if you’re offered a place in 2013 and you’re eligible for at least the first year of credit for prior learning (advanced standing), you’ll be admitted to an associated Bachelor of Applied Science double degree.

Why choose this course?

Studying a double degree in science and mathematics will provide you with advanced knowledge and skills that are highly sought after by employers. A stronger training in mathematics and statistics enhances your capabilities in modelling analysis and design.

Career outcomes

Graduates find work in a diverse range of exciting fields. Some examples include:

  • natural resources: measuring fish populations and predicting sustainable fishing limits
  • agriculture: from climate modelling to the interaction between crop yields and prices, harvest schedules and environmental impacts
  • genetics: including gene sequencing and quantitative genetics
  • chemistry and biochemistry: operations research and statistical techniques to improve workflow processes of chemical laboratories. Scientific computation and visualisation related to research areas such as drug design using combinatorial chemistry
  • infection and disease control: using statistics and mathematical modelling
  • bioinformatics: analysing and modelling data arising in molecular biology, genome sequencing and gene networks
  • physical measuring and imaging techniques: measuring and modelling using applied and computational mathematics.

Professional recognition

Membership of the Australian Mathematical Society, the Statistical Society of Australia and the Australian Society for Operations Research is available. Graduates will satisfy the requirements for membership in the relevant professional body for their chosen science major.
