About this program

The Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics)(Honours) from the University of New South Wales in Sydney is designed for students who wish to dive deeply into mathematical theory, practice and research. Over four years, this honours-level degree provides a robust curriculum in advanced mathematical methods, encompassing algebra, calculus, statistics, and applied mathematics. The course structure allows students to build a strong core before specialising in areas of interest such as pure mathematics, applied mathematics, or statistics.

Australian bachelor honours degrees typically involve a blend of mandatory and elective units of study, each contributing a specific number of credit points towards the degree's overall requirements. This programme includes advanced coursework, with opportunities to participate in research-led units and collaborative projects. The final year is focused on an individual research thesis or capstone project, allowing students to engage deeply with a specialised topic under academic supervision. This provides valuable training in independent problem-solving and analytical thinking.

Throughout the degree, students are equipped with highly developed skills in logical reasoning, quantitative analysis, and critical thinking, all vital for mathematical and analytical careers. The UNSW setting in Sydney gives access to connections with local industry and research institutes, providing valuable exposure relevant to both academia and sectors such as finance, data analysis, and information technology. Highly motivated students who excel in mathematics, enjoy abstract reasoning, and aspire to research or high-level analytical roles will find this course particularly rewarding.

International students must demonstrate English proficiency (IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall or equivalent). While studying, students are generally permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
