About this program

The Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Honours) at the University of New South Wales is designed for students seeking a rigorous and versatile education in both business and high-level mathematics. This unique double degree equips graduates with in-depth analytical, mathematical, and commercial expertise, preparing them for careers at the intersection of mathematics, finance, data analysis, and management.

Structured over 5.5 years of full-time study, the programme is delivered in semesters and comprises a range of core and elective units across the two disciplines, accumulating the required number of credit points as per UNSW and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) standards for a bachelor honours degree. The advanced mathematics stream covers abstract theory, applied mathematics, statistics, and computation, while the commerce stream encompasses accounting, finance, marketing, economics, and management. In the honours year, students undertake a substantial research project or thesis in mathematics, demonstrating original thinking and advanced problem-solving abilities.

Work-integrated learning options, such as internships and industry placements, are available within the commerce component, connecting students to the vibrant Sydney business landscape and industry partnerships. The science strand offers opportunities for laboratory experience and research collaboration. Graduates acquire skills in mathematical modelling, data analysis, quantitative reasoning, business communication, leadership, and strategic decision-making. This demanding double degree suits ambitious students with strong interests in mathematics and business, aspiring to tackle complex problems in diverse professional contexts.

International students must demonstrate English proficiency (such as IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 or equivalent, confirming current requirements with UNSW), and are eligible for work rights of up to 48 hours per fortnight during their studies. Upon completion, graduates may apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream to gain industry experience in Australia. Detailed entry requirements and credit structures should always be confirmed on the official programme page.
