Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology and Bachelor of Science - Mathematics (102982H)

University of Tasmania (UTAS)

Mathematics underpins technology and describes all aspects of the natural world. It’s at the core of emerging industries all over the world, and is key to technological innovation. Mathematics graduates are agile thinkers, with portable skills in analysis, reasoning and problem solving, all of which are in high demand in the modern workforce. With employers as diverse as NASA, Google, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Department of Health and Human Services snapping up our recent graduates, studying maths really can take you anywhere. Mathematical modelling skills developed in this major will give you the ability to model dynamical systems and understand how these systems will react to perturbation. For instance, the techniques you will learn underpin climate models that inform climate action. Indeed, many of the UN sustainable development goals require us to accurately model the world around us and predict how it will respond to change - mathematical skills are a key component of doing this successfully. Students can expect to get hands-on small group tutorial and computer lab teaching with plenty of contact with the staff. We pride ourselves on the collegial atmosphere between staff and students. University is as much about the people you meet as the subjects you learn. Through the very active Maths and Physics Society you can get together with like-minded students, navigate the exciting challenges that come with undergraduate study, and make great friends along the way. A double degree is a structured program that allows you to study two separate disciplines simultaneously, earning two qualifications upon graduation. Rather than completing two separate degrees, a double degree is designed to reduce the overall study time. Why study a double degree? Expanded Career Opportunities: With qualifications in two fields, you can expand your career opportunities beyond the traditional paths, giving you the flexibility to pursue multiple career paths or combine your skills in unique ways. Save Time & Money: A double degree is structured to take less time than studying two degrees separately, meaning you can graduate and start working sooner. Enhanced Skill Set: Studying two disciplines helps you develop interdisciplinary skills. Stronger Professional Network: You’ll engage with professionals and academics from multiple disciplines, expanding your connections and future career opportunities. Follow Your Passions: A double degree lets you explore two fields. Increased Job Security: With expertise in two areas, you can pivot between industries or combine your skills in ways that can make you more resilient to economic changes. A double degree allows you to diversify your knowledge, increase your employability and future -proof your career. Whether you’re passionate about multiple fields or seeking a competitive advantage, it’s an investment in a flexible future.
