Our mathematics and data science courses give you hands-on learning in a practical field, with amazing real-world applications and outcomes.
-
Mathematics
Use mathematical techniques, modelling and analysis to solve complex problems for our economy, society and the environment.
-
Data science and analytics
Drive progress and innovation using knowledge and insights extracted from data.
Your mathematics career starts here
Think about the future. What issues do we need to address, as a society, to ensure longevity? Climate change. Water scarcity. Food shortages. Species extinction. Affordable housing.
A predicted 75% of future occupations need STEM literacy, so a skilled STEM workforce is central to addressing these complex issues now and into the future.
Mathematics
Master powerful mathematical analysis tools and develop specialist analytical skills to solve real industry problems.
Bachelor of MathematicsData science
Analyse and interrogate data to provide meaningful insights with Queensland’s only specialist data science undergraduate degree.
Bachelor of Data Science
Scholarship opportunities
Scholarships are not just about financial support; they provide leadership and engagement opportunities, giving you the edge professionally as you advance your data science or mathematics career.
Double your career opportunities
A double degree can help you develop a portfolio of skills and capabilities so you will be flexible, prepared for change and able to maximise your career opportunities. Create your own specialist career niche by combining your mathematics or data science degree with a complementary study area that interests you.

What does a data science career look like?
Discover what a job in data science is all about, meet real people working in the field and find out what you can do right now to set your career on the right path.
Ready STEM Go!
Tune in to hear from a great line-up of guest QUT alumni from around the world.
Hosted by current QUT STEM student, Mackenzi Oliver, the show welcomes our guests to share stories about the paths they’ve taken to get where they are in their STEM careers.
QUT alumnus Dr Abigail Allwood is at the cutting-edge of space exploration
Women in STEM
With only one in four STEM workers being women, we recognise the importance of supporting and celebrating women pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.
We're tackling this gender divide through a number of programs and initiatives, including #STEMtheTide.
