About this program

The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences/Bachelor of Computer Science at Flinders University is a comprehensive double degree programme designed for students passionate about mathematics and technology. This integrated qualification builds advanced theoretical and practical knowledge across core areas such as calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, algorithms, machine learning, programming, software engineering, and computational modelling. Students explore how quantitative and computational techniques intersect to address complex problems in science, business, health, and technology.

This double degree is structured to be completed over 4.5 years of full-time study, consisting of multiple units of study and accumulating the required number of credit points. The curriculum is typically delivered across semesters, combining compulsory core topics with electives, and may include a capstone project that enables students to synthesise their learning on a substantial computational or mathematical research problem. Professional placements or work-integrated learning opportunities are commonly available, providing real-world industry experience with Australian employers and exposing students to workplace practices and expectations.

Graduates develop strong analytical, critical thinking, problem-solving, and programming capabilities. They gain in-depth skills in data analysis, mathematical modelling, and software development, as well as communication and teamwork abilities essential for collaborative environments. The programme is well suited to students who aspire to pursue careers in fields such as data science, financial analysis, IT, artificial intelligence, and scientific research, or those seeking pathways to further study or research qualifications.

With Flinders University’s industry and research connections in Adelaide, students benefit from a strong local technology, finance, and science sector. Many roles are in demand across Australia, and international students can take advantage of post-study work rights via the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), as well as 48 hours per fortnight work rights during their studies, in line with Australian regulations. Prospective students should confirm all course and policy details directly with the university.
