Mathematics is the study of concepts such as quantity, structure, space and change; and the application of these concepts to model and describe the behaviour of real-world complex systems.

Mathematics is used in most fields, including technology, natural science, engineering, medicine, finance, sociology and psychology.

This course is designed to provide you with skills in mathematics, engineering and computing, and to teach you how to apply these skills to problems arising in business, industry and government.

You will gain knowledge in advanced calculus, linear algebra, modelling and optimisation, network design and analysis, logistics, supply chain networks, transportation networks, computational mathematics, statistics and probability.

Our industry-based units and work experience program will enable you to engage with real-world applications.

As a graduate of this course, you'll be equipped with the tools to address problems to improve the productivity of business and industry.

Professional recognition

Graduates of this course may be eligible for membership to the Statistical Society of Australia (SSA), Australian Society for Operations Research, and Australian Mathematical Society (Aust MS).
