Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) - BP350

Mathematics is more than just numbers and letters. It is the ability to problem solve, think logically and identify similar patterns in a variety of applications and contexts. It is also the transcribing of these patterns and relationships into symbolic or abstract form as a mathematical model, making it possible to analyse the patterns, identify the mechanisms that generate them and find solutions to the real-world system or problem that the model represents.By studying an (applied) mathematics major at RMIT you will learn to think logically, approach problems in analytical and creative ways, and prepare for career opportunities in areas such as banking finance, information security, cybersecurity, public health, logistics, government agencies and research organisations, mathematical biology, and environmental modelling to name a few. You will acquire the skills to: model complex systems for understanding natural or human-based processes, apply mathematics concepts and theories for analysing and optimising decisions, use technology and programming to transform theoretical analysis into efficient and practicable solutions.Choosing an (applied) mathematics and statistics double major will give you access to a capstone work integrated learning experience in your third year in which you will apply theory to an industry-sourced project andor real-world problem. Work-placements and industry seminars will offer connections with industry, reinforce your communication and organisation skills, and strengthen your employability upon graduation.

You must have successfully completed a qualification recognised by RMIT as equivalent to the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) with a minimum average of 65%. Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
