Mathematics and Statistics

This exciting mathematics program is flexible, innovative and provides opportunities for students to work with leading researchers to gain academic and employment experience.

Small class sizes (especially in upper years) promote an intimate learning environment. This also means that many of our undergraduate students work with a faculty member on cutting-edge research as part of their Honours thesis that can result in publication in peer-reviewed academic journals.

Choose from a broad range of courses or concentrations in Applied Mathematics (mathematics for applications in science, engineering, economics or business), Mathematics Education, MICA (Mathematics Integrated with Computers and Applications), Pure Mathematics (development of mathematical ideas and concepts for their own sake), or Statistics (big data analytics, experimental design, sampling methods, statistical inference and data analysis techniques).

If you are an exceptional student in mathematics and statistics who loves working independently, there is also an Accelerated Mathematics Studies stream where you can complete a four-year Honours degree in any concentration in as little as three years.
