This course enables you, as a practicing professional or recent graduate from any discipline, to develop your knowledge and skills in one or more areas of the mathematical sciences, including operations research, statistics, numerical analysis, computing or mathematics. In your first year, you will study core mathematics subjects to help improve your mathematics knowledge and skills. You will also learn to conduct and manage research before undertaking an investigation project of your own. Most projects are based on technical problems or developmental ideas that originate within industry. In your second year, you will extend your knowledge and develop your ability to find efficient numerical and analytical solutions to problems. Why study Mathematical Sciences Major (MSc Science) These courses teach advanced mathematics and statistics and their real-life applications in engineering, finance and industrial modelling. Our graduates have a wide range of career choices that require analytic skills. We have strong links with industries through our statistics group and the Western Australian Centre of Excellence in Industrial Optimisation.
