Bachelor
Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences Bachelor of International Studies is an exciting combined degree in mathematical sciences, language and cultures. It enables students with a strong interest in mathematics, statistics, and data to grow and develop skills that are in high demand in the modern work force. The basis is a comprehensive foundation of core mathematical competencies, combined with one of four majors, ensuring graduates have the knowledge and skills to develop and adapt in the rapidly changing work environment.
Mathematical sciences focuses on the application of mathematical techniques to real-world problems.
In the International Studies, students select one of six languages (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish) and one of the following three pathways: Language, Culture & the Professional World, Language; Culture & Global Exchange; and International Honours.
The core provides a broad mathematical foundation, while each major provides depth of study. International studies is unique, allowing students to gain qualifications in language and cultural awareness relating to a country of their choice. This added dimension expands students' career opportunities and employability in the global workplace.
Career options include data scientist, statistician, data analyst, financial analyst, market analyst, quantitative analyst (finance), mathematical modeller, business analyst, programmer in diverse industries including the financial sector, marketing, non-profit organisations, and government at local, state, and federal levels.The international perspective provided by the international studies component enhances global opportunities.
Students are required to complete 240 credit points, comprising 144 credit points in mathematical sciences and 96 credit points in international studies.
In the International Studies component students select the language they will study at the time of enrolment, and either the Language, Culture and the Professional World pathway or the Language, Culture and Global Exchange pathway. Information relating to entry into the International Honours pathway can be found in the Information for Students section.
Graduation from the Bachelor of Mathematical Science component of the combined degree is not possible prior to completion of all components of the combined degree. Students wishing to graduate with a Bachelor of Mathematical Science prior to completion of the International Studies component of the combined degree must apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Mathematical Science (C10457) single degree program where they must complete all requirements for the stand-alone single degree.
The Bachelor of International studies is not offered as a separate degree, but is completed only in combination with the professional degree.
In the International studies component students have the following options:
Students studying this course have an opportunity to undertake an internship subject and receive academic credit for their placement off campus (an external business or research institute) or on campus (UTS research institutes or departments), in a capacity relevant to their academic studies.
