The Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences is a flexible degree designed for students fascinated by computer-based solutions, analysing and interpreting data, and predicting and modelling outcomes to solve problems. The degree develops expertise in mathematics, statistics and computing, together with intellectual rigour and logical thinking skills. Students work with a program advisor to develop an individual study program tailored to their specific interest areas and career goals. Core courses cover applied and pure mathematics, computer science, and statistics, with a variety of electives also offered. These are taken from areas including: business; design; engineering; finance; history; language; music; philosophy; politics; psychology; and the social sciences.
