Bachelor of Mathematical Science (BMathSc)
Students may opt to concentrate on one of the following six areas:
The degree programme in Mathematical Science is aimed at developing versatile graduates who are able to think critically and creatively in order to analyse situations, organise information and devise solutions to complex problems at the workplace.
Career Opportunities
The Mathematical Science degree is a versatile qualification. The programme does not train students for specific jobs. Rather, it teaches a wide range of skills that employers value. These include clear and logical thinking, problem-solving skills and analytical and organisational abilities. Accounting and actuarial firms, for instance, do not always take in recruits according to degree specifications, but on the strength of qualities such as those mentioned above. Mathematics graduates are sought after by organisations requiring personnel, who can solve complex problems, design efficient systems or set up mathematical models for application in such activities as weather and share market forecasting.
