About this course

The Mathematical Modelling and Computation major in the Bachelor of Science will give you the skills to carry out modelling research and the analysis of problems in many industries and organisations.

Course structure

In the Mathematical Modelling and Computation major you'll develop the ability to extract information from real-life phenomena to create mathematical models describing the phenomena. You'll also be able to use data to validate the models you've created.

You'll develop the statistical skills and mathematical techniques required for mathematical modelling. In your third year, you can choose from courses that focus on mathematical modelling in science, or on business and financial applications. You'll have to opportunity to practise your skills in a final-year project.

Apart from the courses below you also need to complete courses from your second major, your chosen minor(s) or electives.

Core courses

All Bachelor of Science students need to complete core courses that help you develop transferable skills and support your work in all other courses in the degree.

Choose one of:

And choose one natural sciences course

And one mathematical and computer sciences course

*Only available to students in the Analytics and Mathematical Modelling and Computation majors

And one course from either the natural sciences or mathematical and computer science courses above.

In Year 3, you complete a project in an area related to your major. This project gives you an important competitive edge for your career, and is good preparation for postgraduate study.
