Bachelor of Mathematics Mathematics plays a crucial role in almost every sector of the economy. From finance to engineering, teaching, medicine and politics – mathematics is essential to model, analyse and solve problems. The essence of mathematics is the use of abstraction and logic to discover, describe and completely and unambiguously understand systems. Mathematics is essential for modelling phenomena in many fields, including science, engineering, economics, finance, medicine, and politics. The fact that mathematicians are able to model, analyse and solve practical problems makes them highly sought after by employers. The Bachelor of Mathematics will give you a solid basis in key areas of mathematics. You also have the option of completing majors in Financial Mathematics, Data Science, or Computational Mathematics, or you can use the degree as a pathway to secondary teaching.

Bachelor of Entrepreneurship (Games Design and Simulation) The Bachelor of Entrepreneurship (Games Design and Simulation) is an innovative approach to training the next generation of high impact entrepreneurs by providing the knowledge and developing the practical skills that make them successful. Whilst the specialist focus of the degree is game and simulation development, the program connects it with the art of entrepreneurship and guides students through all phases of their entrepreneurship journey: from forming a team to obtaining funding. Students will gain game development skills while also learning how to start a gaming company. The key emphasis of this program is on developing the mindset, risk tolerance, creativity, team formation and leadership capabilities – key characteristics of high impact entrepreneurs. Practical experience is incorporated into every semester of study, enabling students to continue working on their start-ups throughout the degree.

Bachelor of Information Systems Today, practising professionals need to not only have knowledge and skills in computing, they also need to understand the context in which computer technology is applied in society, and be able to work collaboratively with people in all sorts of professions and industries.

Bachelor of Data Science Analysis of data is essential for scientific investigation, modelling processes and predicting future events. Data Science is the investigation of the tools required that allow us to perform this modelling and prediction. The increase in accessible data over the past few decades has promoted the use of Data Science, making it a desired skill in many professions. The Bachelor of Data Science equips our graduates with the skills and knowledge for designing experimental studies, building and fitting models for analysis, visualisation, estimation and prediction, machine learning for prediction, analysis of complex data relationships, storage and retrieval of big data. These skills are essential for the analysis of customer transactions and behaviour, scientific investigations, financial trends, and online behaviour in the new world.

Master of Data Science Increasingly in the digital age data plays an important role in most, if not all, occupations. Extracting information from data has become a science in itself, blending skill sets from mathematics, statistics and computing. With a strong applications focus, this program covers the nature of data including Big and Unstructured Data, how to embark on data driven investigations and visual and computational analytics. The program graduates will have the knowledge and skills required to operate effectively in a data driven world. Studying this program will provide you with extensive scientific skills and methods to extract meaningful data and solve complex problems.

Master of Information and Communications Technology The need for information and communication experts has only grown as new technologies come about and businesses recognise its importance. This program provides majors and cross-discipline approaches that allow you to master real-world ICT issues while tailoring your learning needs to suit your career goals. The Master of Information and Communications Technology (MICT) sets the foundation for students to advance their careers in ICT and/or continue further learning in this discipline. Students will be required to complete a work experience component in addition to a number of core and elective subjects. Students may also choose to complete a field of study out of the available fields for this program. This program is focused on getting students engaged in enquiry-based learning to acquire knowledge in established theories and recent state-of-the-art developments. Students are also expected to develop skills in problem solving and research practice and apply those skills in a professional and ethical framework to develop themselves as lifelong learners.
