It’s at the core of emerging industries all over the world, and is key to technological innovation. Mathematics graduates are agile thinkers, with portable skills in analysis, reasoning and problem solving, all of which are in high demand in the modern workforce. With employers as diverse as NASA, Google, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Department of Health and Human Services snapping up our recent graduates, studying maths really can take you anywhere. Mathematical modelling skills developed in this major will give you the ability to model dynamical systems and understand how these systems will react to perturbation. For instance, the techniques you will learn underpin climate models that inform climate action. Indeed, many of the UN sustainable development goals require us to accurately model the world around us and predict how it will respond to change - mathematical skills are a key component of doing this successfully. Students can expect to get hands-on small group tutorial and computer lab teaching with plenty of contact with the staff. We pride ourselves on the collegial atmosphere between staff and students. University is as much about the people you meet as the subjects you learn.
