You will also gainunderstanding of the broad principles ofBusiness at the same time as developingthe skills and discipline knowledgenecessary to enter the business career ofyour choice.

Career OutcomesCombining business and mathematicsoffers diverse and sustainable careeropportunities.

Business graduates are equipped toundertake sophisticated economic andfinancial modelling which is important inbusiness and government decisionmaking. Quantitative analysts areemployed by the financial sector in orderto optimise returns both in the short andlong-term. Graduates may also becomeactuarial trainees in the insurance andsuperannuation area although furtherstudy is required in order to qualify as anactuary.

Mathematics graduates are employedacross a wide range of areas. Theseinclude, but are not limited to, finance,investment, data analytics, defence andnational security, research, informationtechnology, environmental science,health, management, marketing, logistics,media, and education. In addition to theirknowledge and skills in mathematics,graduates are also highly valued for theiranalytical and problem-solving skills.Development of skills in communication,problem-solving, critical thinking andteamwork form an integral part of thecourse.

Favourable career outcomes for Bachelorof Mathematics graduates are likely dueto the current demand for qualifiedstatisticians and mathematicians.

Professional RecognitionBoth degrees allow you to satisfy therequirements of membership of therelevant professional body for yourchosen majors.
