Apply your scientific and mathematical expertise to solve organisational challenges or address global issues across the sciences, engineering, information technology, economics and the business world. Gain an in-depth understanding of advanced mathematics essentials, while developing interdisciplinary knowledge and key practical skills in your preferred scientific passion with this dual degree. In the mathematics program, you can choose to develop a comprehensive, specialised knowledge in one field of mathematics, or a high level of sophistication in the applications of mathematics generally. You'll acquire quantitative and analytical skills, along with a foundation of calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, mathematical analysis and modelling. As a graduate you'll further benefit from UQ’s mathematics research and industry networks, which will widen your career options and help you excel in the mathematical aspects of other disciplines. Explore and challenge your thinking in the science program, which offers one of the broadest selections of science disciplines in Australia. You'll develop your interdisciplinary scientific knowledge and practical skills, while pursuing studies that suit your interests and ambitions, with the freedom to mix and match course combinations. Acquire relevant, real-world experience through employability and work-integrated learning like internships, industry placements, research projects and international study. In selected majors, you have the opportunity to gain extensive fieldwork experience in locations such as the Great Barrier Reef and outback Queensland. <br><br>Statistics provides the mathematics and techniques necessary for understanding and dealing with chance and uncertainty. It involves the design, collection, analysis and interpretation of data, with the aim of extracting patterns and other useful relationships. A key feature of statistics is the development and use of probabilistic models for random phenomena, which can be analysed and used to make predictions and decisions.
