Mathematics teaches you to think logically and approach problems in analytical and creative ways. RMIT offers one of the only stand-alone applied mathematics undergraduate programs in Australia. Mathematics graduates apply their problem-solving skills to a wide variety of fields, including: banking and finance environmental modelling (resources, biodiversity, weather and climate) data sciences and decision science network sciences sport management logistics management information security (coding, cryptography) engineering (fluid mechanics, optimizing industrial processes) education and research This program focuses on applying maths to real-world problems to enhance your employment prospects. Theory is linked to practical projects and applied to real scenarios. You'll make practical use of industry-relevant computer software packages and programming tools. RMIT differs from many universities as you are enrolled in a flexible and diverse mathematics program from the first day. Work-integrating learning offers many opportunities to meet industry representatives and get real work experience. This program is ideal if you're interested in: enhancing your analytical and critical thinking skills finding creative and innovative solutions developing your computer programming skills Career The outlook for mathematics graduates is excellent. Mathematics graduates work as analysts and modellers in many areas of business, commerce, government, teaching, computer and manufacturing industries. Some of the areas mathematics graduates find work in include: Environment: Studies of the environment require modelling of the abundance and location of plants and animals, the spread of pollution from its sources and the possible effects of changes in human activities. Business: Graduates work with organizations to build models which enable continuous improvement and efficiencies. Industry: Mathematics graduates work with engineers to model the physical processes used in industry, e.g. cooking, coating, cutting, rolling, and so on, so that manufacturers are able to produce better-quality products. Information security: In an increasingly networked world in which danger is no more than a mouse-click away, mathematics graduates work with computer scientists to secure companies’ vital systems and data.
