Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics)(Honours)

Unlike the Bachelor of Science, which is more generalised, the Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Honours) has a strong focus on preparing you for a range of quantitative careers. It includes compulsory advanced maths coursework and offers specialised majors in Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics or Advanced Statistics.

Students can specialise in one of three majors: Applied Mathematics (covering topics such as Mathematical Modelling, Computational Methods for Finance, Differential Equations and Biomathematics), Pure Mathematics (covering Abstract Algebra, Higher Algebra, and Higher Topology and Differential Geometry), or Advanced Statistics (covering Statistical Methods in Social and Market Research, Higher Theory of Statistics, and Higher Linear Models).

In your honours year, you'll work closely with a supervisor on a real research project, while also undertaking advanced coursework. The honours year comprises 48 UOC and includes both a coursework and a thesis component. You'll grow your skills in problem-solving, critical thinking and independent research, setting you up for future study or work.

For domestic students, the 2026 indicative first year full fee is $7,500 and the indicative full fee to complete the degree is $27,500. For international students, the 2026 indicative first year full fee is $61,000 and the indicative full fee to complete the degree is $266,500.

As a single degree, the Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Honours) requires completion of 192 Units of Credit (UOC), made up of 24 courses plus an honours year over four years of full-time study. This includes 14 major courses (84 UOC), 1 core course (SCIF1131, 6 UOC), 1 science elective (6 UOC), an honours year (48 UOC), 6 free electives (36 UOC), and 2 general education courses (12 UOC).
