About this program

The Bachelor of Science (Mathematical Science) at Murdoch University is a three-year undergraduate degree based in Perth. This course guides students through fundamental and advanced mathematical concepts, such as calculus, algebra, mathematical modelling, probability, and statistics. As you progress, you'll explore how mathematics is applied in areas like data analysis, risk analysis, and scientific research in Australian industries.

Classes are delivered over semesters, and you'll earn credit points by completing required and elective units of study. The structure allows flexibility to specialise in particular aspects of mathematics or combine your studies with electives from other disciplines. In the final stages, you may undertake a capstone project, giving you the chance to apply mathematical knowledge to real-world challenges, often in collaboration with industry partners or through applied research.

Alongside technical mathematical skills, you'll build expertise in logical reasoning, problem-solving, critical analysis, and the communication of complex ideas. Graduates become confident using statistical software and computer-based modelling, which are valued locally by businesses and research organisations. The degree suits those with a strong interest in numbers, logic, and patterns, as well as anyone considering careers where analytical thinking is key.

Murdoch University maintains connections with industry in Western Australia, making it possible for students to experience mathematics in action through industry-linked projects or work-integrated learning opportunities. International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) upon graduation. Always confirm unit options and degree details on the official Murdoch University page.
