Bachelors of Mathematics / Science

Learn how to solve theoretical and applied problems across the sciences, engineering, information technology, economics and business, while developing interdisciplinary knowledge and key practical skills in your preferred scientific passion.

Gain an in-depth understanding of advanced mathematics essentials, while developing interdisciplinary knowledge and key practical skills in your preferred scientific passion with this dual degree.

In the mathematics program, you can choose to develop a comprehensive, specialised knowledge in one field of mathematics, or a high level of sophistication in the applications of mathematics generally. You'll acquire quantitative and analytical skills, along with a foundation of calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, mathematical analysis and modelling. As a graduate you'll further benefit from UQ’s mathematics research and industry networks, which will widen your career options and help you excel in the mathematical aspects of other disciplines.

Explore and challenge your thinking in the science program, which offers one of the broadest selections of science disciplines in Australia. You'll develop your interdisciplinary scientific knowledge and practical skills, while pursuing studies that suit your interests and ambitions, with the freedom to mix and match course combinations.

Acquire relevant, real-world experience through employability and work-integrated learning like internships, industry placements, research projects and international study. In selected majors, you have the opportunity to gain extensive fieldwork experience in locations such as the Great Barrier Reef and outback Queensland.
