Overview
Mathematics sits at the foundation of everyday life. The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences prepares students to harness the power of mathematics to drive quantifiable change in the wider world. More than just a theoretical degree, it equips students with in-demand skills that are highly sought after not only in fields traditionally aligned with mathematics but in contemporary industries seeking insights from increasingly complex numerical information.
Students can choose from one of two majors:
- Statistics and Data Science
- Pure and Applied Mathematics
Why UTS Science?
As one of Australia’s leading university science faculties, UTS Science is committed to teaching and research that creates a more sustainable world. When students enrol at UTS, they join a university that delivers global impact in STEM education and research and a faculty that produces scientists with the power to transform the profession, the globe and society.
Course aims
Students graduate with high-level skills in mathematics, statistics and data science to match growing workforce demand for professionals who can manipulate and analyse data.
Career options
Career options include business analyst, data analyst, data scientist, financial analyst, market analyst, mathematical modeller, programmer in diverse industries including the financial sector, marketing, non-profit, and government at local, state and federal levels, quantitative analyst (finance), statistician.
Innovation and Transdisciplinary program
Transdisciplinarity and Innovation at UTSAll UTS students have the opportunity to develop distinctive capabilities around transdisciplinary thinking and innovation through the TD School. Transdisciplinary education at UTS brings together great minds from different disciplines to explore ideas that improve the way we live and work in the world. These offerings are unique to UTS and directly translate to many existing and emerging roles and careers.
Diploma in InnovationThe Diploma in Innovation (C20060) teaches innovation, supports personal transformation and provides the hard skills needed to support the inventors and inventions of the future. Students come out of the Diploma in Innovation, with the hard skills to create and support sectoral and societal transformation. Graduates are able to fluently integrate ideas, across professional disciplines and are inventors of the future.
All UTS undergraduate students (with the exception of students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation) can apply for the Diploma in Innovation upon admission in their chosen undergraduate degree. It is a complete degree program that runs in parallel to any undergraduate degree. The course is offered on a three-year, part-time basis, with subjects running in 3-week long intensive blocks in July, December and February sessions. More information including a link to apply is available at https://dipinn.uts.edu.au.
Transdisciplinary electives programTransdisciplinary electives broaden students' horizons and supercharge their problem-solving skills, helping them to learn outside, beyond and across their degrees. Students enrolled in an undergraduate course that includes electives can choose to take a transdisciplinary subject (with the exception of students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation). More information about the TD Electives program is available here.
