Bachelor (Honours)
Mathematics underpins modern science and technology, providing a language for understanding the world around us. The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Honours) from Flinders University provides a foundation in modern mathematics and statistics, giving you the knowledge needed to solve today's big problems with the critical-thinking skills needed for the challenges of the future.
The degree provides a unique industry placement, allowing you to apply your skills while studying to gain invaluable experience and give you a head start. You will also complete a larger project across your honours year, working one-on-one with an expert in mathematics or statistics.
Because of the wide range of uses, there are few jobs labelled simply "mathematician" and instead there's a wide range of jobs that employ people with a degree in mathematics under different names. These call for people with skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, modelling and describing data.
The range of jobs available to maths graduates can be seen in the MathsAdds guide produced by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute. This collects real job add that a graduate in mathematical sciences could apply for.
Graduates working in mathematics can apply for accreditation from the Australian Mathematical Society
Graduates working in statistics can apply for accreditation from the Statistical Society of Australia.
