Course overview
Students are equipped to research and develop the next major breakthroughs in technology and science. They combine theoretical studies of algorithms and data structures in computer science with specialised knowledge and advanced applications of mathematics. Students choose a mathematics specialisation from a wide range of courses in mathematics and statistics. They learn to solve data-driven problems across the physical and biological sciences, engineering, information technology, economics, and business. Through their studies, students develop high-level quantitative and analytical skills, preparing them for key roles in fields such as cybersecurity, data science, machine learning, programming languages, and scientific computing. These skills are critical to supporting industries like global finance, energy, transport, health, and communications. For more information, visit Bachelor of Mathematics/Computer Science at UQ.

If the student's current English result is below the direct-entry requirement, consider the university's recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package. When the student successfully completes the approved pathway at the required level, the university may accept that pathway for English entry without requiring a new IELTS, TOEFL or PTE result. Always confirm exclusions for professional registration courses and the offer conditions.
