Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced (Applied Mathematics)

The Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced is available to students who have achieved outstanding results at the highest level of mathematics in high school or have the equivalent level of knowledge on entry to UOW. This elite degree offers an accelerated program of studies to high-achieving students with a passion for mathematics.

A unique feature of our advanced program is that you will undertake supervised undergraduate research projects. These projects enable you to work closely with active academic researchers to develop your independent learning, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Applied Mathematics (major)

Your major in applied mathematics will build on core pure mathematics subjects, expanding your skills and knowledge in the field. Subjects include financial mathematics, industrial mathematical modelling, optimisation and applications, and medical mathematics.

Applied mathematics is the basis for successful decision making and problem solving independent of sector or industry; it can provide new insights into nature, technology and business and create a pathway for innovative solutions. It underpins a wide range of scientific and commercial enterprises, providing extensive career options. Almost every industry depends at some point on handling and interpreting data, and on predicting and modelling outcomes.
