Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Mathematics

Combine science and maths to gain skills in mathematical modelling, analysis and design to help solve complex problems.Complete two separate degrees in 4 years full-time.Develop advanced knowledge and skills that are highly sought after by employers.Study a science major in biological sciences, chemistry, climate science, earth science, environmental science or physics.Specialise in applied and computational mathematics, operations research, or statistics.Why choose this courseStudying a double degree in science and mathematics will provide you with advanced knowledge and skills that are highly sought after by employers. A stronger training in mathematics and statistics enhances your capabilities in modelling analysis and design. Graduates find work in a diverse range of exciting fields. Some examples include natural resources, agriculture, genetics, chemistry and biochemistry, infection and disease control, bioinformatics, physical measuring and imaging techniques.Build a unique set of versatile skills for today's complex challenges, with our science and mathematics double degree.Beginning from your first semester, you'll engage in collaborative learning experiences within QUT's innovative environments, tackling real-world problems through diverse scientific, mathematical, and statistical perspectives. You'll gain hands-on experience and learn to effectively analyse and present scientific data, from fieldwork to laboratory experiments.Customise your degree by selecting a major in areas like biology, chemistry, statistics, or applied mathematics, enhancing both your quantitative analysis skills and expertise in a scientific discipline. Whether you aspire to enter the workforce or pursue further study, this program prepares you with a solid foundation and practical skills for success.Careers and outcomesGraduates find work in a diverse range of exciting fields.
