Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours) (Industrial and Applied Mathematics)

Our world-class facilities at Mawson Lakes campus offer an inspiring learning environment such as the multi-million dollar Materials and Minerals Science Learning and Research Hub. You will study advanced courses in mathematics. You will also complete a major industrial, scientific or commercial project. Topics covered your courses may include:

• simulation theory and application
• advanced complex analysis
• nonlinear programming
• discrete optimisation
• applied functional analysis
• numerical linear algebra
• an introduction to partial differential equations
• computational biology
• stochastic calculus
• advanced operations research
• optimal control

You will undertake advanced study and research in applied mathematics, statistics and optimisation. You will also do a research or study project in one of the following areas: applied mathematics, pure mathematics, or statistics. This work will be supervised by a mathematician or statistician.

You can gain an extra qualification and broaden your career prospects by completing a Diploma in Languages.

With an honours degree in applied science you will be ideally qualified to proceed to postgraduate degrees by coursework or research. You could consider continuing with a PhD to further your knowledge and research skills. As a graduate, you could also consider a career in:

• environmental modelling
• defence research
• statistical analysis and optimisation
