There has never been a more exciting time to study science. The immense field of science underpins areas such as technology, industry, business, agriculture, environment, research and development, health, and the information revolution. A science degree provides you with the skills, knowledge, and attributes to make a positive difference to the world in these and other arenas. If you have an inquisitive mind, a passion for discovery, strong analytical and research skills, and an interest in the world around you, then the Bachelor of Science is for you. A degree in science allows you to contribute to science and society into the future, pursue higher-level employment, and undertake research. Mathematics (Co-Major) Graduates with a strong mathematical background are highly sought after in the workplace, particularly in areas such as insurance companies, computer based projects and for problem solving in areas like manufacturing or scheduling. A co-major is a stream of study you choose to specialise in within the Bachelor of Science along with another major of your choice. The mathematics co-major can only be taken with another science major not including statistics. Our maths co-major within the Bachelor of Science complements and supports the other sciences you may also be studying. This could range from mathematical modelling used throughout natural sciences, to complex analysis used in physics. UON is home to leading mathematicians, which means your teaching will include the latest research developments happening in the real world. Career opportunities opened up by a mathematics co-major will vary depending on the other science subjects you choose to study. A wide range of careers available to mathematicians include: business analyst data analyst defence scientist ecosystem modeller financial engineer mathematical biologist meteorology software engineer teaching An optional Honours program is available to high achieving students at the end of their undergraduate degree. This involves advanced coursework and a research project.
