About the course

Models are becoming an increasingly important tool in many branches of modern society due to advances in science and technology. As our understanding of these models improves, the complexity of the types of questions being asked increases. The objective of this major is to train students in techniques of model development, use and assessment.

　　A key requirement for future scientists, industry leaders, resource managers, and policy makers is an ability to build and evaluate models and/or interpret model outputs. Career opportunities for graduates extend into every part of society, including: research (e.g. CSIRO, Universities), public sector (e.g. Bureau of Meteorology, Murray Darling Basin Authority, state government agencies), and private sector (e.g. engineering, finance).

　　Learning Outcomes

　　Apply mathematical concepts, including Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations to analyse specific problems and identify the appropriate mathematics to realise a solution.

　　Use computer programming and statistical analysis skills to efficiently model systems.

　　Recognise the connections between mathematics and other disciplines, and how mathematical ideas are embedded in other contexts. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
