OverviewYour Business studies will combine thebroad knowledge of business practiceand in depth studies in at least onebusiness discipline area in the Bachelor ofBusiness with the advanced quantitativeskills and problem solving abilities thatyou will develop with the Bachelor ofMathematics.
You will develop the ability to applymathematics, statistics, computationalmethods and decision science to realworld problems. You will also gainunderstanding of the broad principles ofBusiness at the same time as developingthe skills and discipline knowledgenecessary to enter the business career ofyour choice.
Career OutcomesCombining business and mathematicsoffers diverse and sustainable careeropportunities.
Business graduates are equipped toundertake sophisticated economic andfinancial modelling which is important inbusiness and government decisionmaking. Quantitative analysts areemployed by the financial sector in orderto optimise returns both in the short andlong-term. Graduates may also becomeactuarial trainees in the insurance andsuperannuation area although furtherstudy is required in order to qualify as anactuary.
Business graduates may find employmentas Accountants, AdvertisingProfessionals, Banking and FinanceConsultants, Economists, HumanResource Managers, InternationalBusiness Specialists, Managers,Marketing Officers, Public RelationsOfficers.
Mathematics graduates are employedacross a wide range of areas. Theseinclude, but are not limited to, finance,investment, data analytics, defence andnational security, research, informationtechnology, environmental science,health, management, marketing, logistics,media, and education. In addition to theirknowledge and skills in mathematics,graduates are also highly valued for theiranalytical and problem-solving skills.Development of skills in communication,problem-solving, critical thinking andteamwork form an integral part of thecourse.
Favourable career outcomes for Bachelorof Mathematics graduates are likely dueto the current demand for qualifiedstatisticians and mathematicians.
Professional RecognitionBoth degrees allow you to satisfy therequirements of membership of therelevant professional body for yourchosen majors.
Financial SupportYou should consider applying for anindustry-sponsored mathematics bursaryor a business scholarship to help youfinancially throughout your studies. Forfurther information visit Scholarships.
