Course outline

In this dual program, students combine their scientific knowledge with advanced mathematical expertise. This knowledge is central to solving organisational challenges. It also addresses global issues across science, engineering, information technology, economics, and business. Through the science component, students explore their interests across 34 majors. They will develop their critical thinking and expand their scientific knowledge. In mathematics, they build specialised skills by selecting from a broad range of courses in mathematics and statistics. Students learn to solve data-driven problems in the physical and biological sciences, engineering, IT, economics, and business. They strengthen their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities through industry projects, placements, research experiences, internships, and international study opportunities through UQ’s global networks. Graduates are in demand for their interdisciplinary knowledge and advanced quantitative and analytical skills. They are the future leaders in innovation, entrepreneurship and in meeting global challenges. For more information, visit Bachelor of Mathematics/Science at UQ.
