RMIT University

Mathematics teaches students to think logically and approach problems in analytical and creative ways. Mathematicians apply their problem-solving skills to a wide variety of fields which includes banking and finance, environmental modelling (resources, biodiversity, weather and climate), information security (coding, cryptography) and engineering (fluid mechanics, optimising industrial processes).This program focuses on applying maths to real-world problems to enhance employment prospects. Theory is linked to practical projects and applied to real scenarios. Students will make practical use of industry-relevant computer software packages. RMIT differs from many universities as students are enrolled in a mathematics program from the first day, not a generalist science one. Students will be well supported by a peer-mentoring system, and many of our final-year students get a head start in the job market by doing an industry placement. This program is ideal if students are interested in using numbers and formulas to solve problems, finding logical and creative solutions, advanced numerical skills that will set students apart from graduates in business or commerce.
Higher Mathematics or VCE Mathematical Methods (CAS) or Specialist Mathematics.
The major studies includes the detailed and basic concepts related to mathematics
Student must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 or an equivalent senior secondary school qualification with a minimum average of 65%.For information on international qualifications and corresponding entry requirements that are equivalent to an Australian Year 12, see the Entry requirements by country web page.Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
Graduates are eligible to apply for graduate membership to the Australian Mathematical Society.
Theres an excellent outlook for mathematics graduates, for work as analysts and modellers in many areas of business, commerce, government, teaching, computer and manufacturing industries.Mathematics is a critical area in science and the Government forecast is for the demand for mathematicians to grow by 3.5% each year from 2006 to 2013. CSIRO and other agencies have reported difficulties in filling mathematics positions. The statistics indicate that as a mathematician students will be entering the workforce as a highly sought after employee.
3 years full-time or part-time study may be available, International student visa holders can only s
