Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences

The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences encompasses a diverse set of disciplines that share common ideas and themes that develop and become clear to high achieving students as they progress in their studies. Generally speaking, a deep understanding of the common ideas and their application in both theoretical and practical spheres comes as a result of high-level syntheses rather than low-level foundational learning.

We want to give our very best students the opportunity to attain this level of learning through a degree which enables them to engage across the breadth of the subject and to develop depth in one or more subdisciplines. This course will form an outstanding foundation for Honours.

The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences requirements are detailed in the course resolutions and the Mathematical Sciences unit of study table.
