Bachelor of Science Major in Mathematics

University of Tasmania (UTAS)

Mathematics underpins technology and describes all aspects of the natural world. It’s at the core of emerging industries all over the world, and is key to technological innovation. Mathematics graduates are agile thinkers, with portable skills in analysis, reasoning and problem solving, all of which are in high demand in the modern workforce. With employers as diverse as NASA, Google, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Department of Health and Human Services snapping up our recent graduates, studying maths really can take you anywhere. Mathematical modelling skills developed in this major will give you the ability to model dynamical systems and understand how these systems will react to perturbation. For instance, the techniques you will learn underpin climate models that inform climate action. Indeed, many of the UN sustainable development goals require us to accurately model the world around us and predict how it will respond to change - mathematical skills are a key component of doing this successfully. Students can expect to get hands-on small group tutorial and computer lab teaching with plenty of contact with the staff. We pride ourselves on the collegial atmosphere between staff and students. University is as much about the people you meet as the subjects you learn. Through the very active Maths and Physics Society you can get together with like-minded students, navigate the exciting challenges that come with undergraduate study, and make great friends along the way. If you enjoy pursuing your curiosity and understanding the world around you, consider yourself an innovator, and are passionate about shaping the world from our living laboratory, our Bachelor of Science provides a gateway to an exciting world of rewarding careers. This degree can be combined to combined to form a double degree. Explore your options and find out how you can accelerate your career. The University of Tasmania’s science degree provides you with a foundation of core skills in science, analysis, and rational thinking. You have options to focus your study in one or more scientific disciplines and learn the methods to apply your skills and knowledge to the practical needs of industry, business, and government in both scientific and non-scientific roles. In choosing a Bachelor of Science you can: Select one or two science majors from our range of exciting options, plus expand your educational experience and study units of your choice from across the University. Explore a range of study options through your choice of electives, discovering potential new areas of interest even after you start studying. Learn through hands-on practical experience including laboratory work, field trips, field-based units, and research projects. Enjoy being mentored by highly qualified staff, many of whom are national and world leaders in their field.
