Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced

The Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced is an elite degree offering an accelerated program of studies to high-achieving students with a passion for mathematics. A unique feature is that students undertake supervised undergraduate research projects, enabling them to work closely with active academic researchers to develop independent learning, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Advanced students are also invited to participate in networking and mentoring opportunities including summer research scholarships, corporate scholarships, and access to programs offered by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) ACE Network.
