Course overview
Combining science and innovation in a double degree has a great potential to lead to exciting and diverse career opportunities. Many of the world's most pressing issues, such as climate change, healthcare, food security, and sustainable energy require multidisciplinary solutions, combining technical knowhow with an innovation mindset.
You might identify novel opportunities, develop disruptive technologies, or create new products or services that transform businesses and societies. You might start your own ventures based on scientific discoveries or bring fresh perspectives to existing industries through innovative approaches.
Today, mathematics is used in most fields, including technology, natural science, engineering, medicine, finance and the social sciences such as sociology and psychology. Employment prospects are good as mathematics graduates have high level problem solving skills. The Mathematics Major can be a stepping stone to a wide and diverse career. Alongside this major, students can take a specialisation in Optimisation, Industrial Mathematics, Actuarial Mathematics or Applied Finance. The major provides students with the foundation knowledge and skills necessary to pursue their interest in these areas of mathematics.
