UniSQ&#39;s Master of Science (Mathematics and Statistics) is ideal for graduates from any discipline who are looking to develop their mathematics/statistics knowledge and skills. Even if you haven’t studied in some time, this degree will provide you with an in-depth education in mathematical and/or statistical techniques and problem solving skills. Examine the fundamentals of theoretical and applied statistics, mathematical modelling and operations research, and computing and coding skills. This degree incorporates practical methods for undertaking analysis, modelling and evidence-based, data-driven decision-making.

Master of Science (Mathematics and Statistics)

Building on your Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) or Bachelor of Science (Mathematics and Statistics) degree, you will have the opportunity to increase your knowledge through study of advanced statistics courses and completion of a research project. You will conduct, and report on, a research project under the supervision of a staff member with the appropriate expertise. The Honours program will give you an appreciation of the professional standards required of the practising scientist, and the ethical challenges presented by modern science and technology. You will also participate in research teams, be introduced to advanced experimental and literature research methods, and have opportunities to make contact with the wider scientific community in the local region, elsewhere in Australia and overseas.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Applied Mathematics & Statistics)

Science, technology, engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are heralded as key drivers of future innovation and growth. The Graduate Certificate in Mathematics is designed as the first in a nested set of programs to enable existing teachers to retrain to teach Mathematics. It can also be studied as a pathway for students who want to deepen their knowledge of Mathematics but have not studied Mathematics at an undergraduate level. The program covers areas such as Number, Algebra, Geometry Statistics, and Calculus. It develops the capacity of students to apply advanced mathematical knowledge in order to design and solve authentic problems.

This university qualification in mathematics will suit teachers looking to add maths to their repertoire. But math problem solving skills are valued across many fields including finance and health. Upskill in maths and get ready to pursue opportunities.

Graduate Certificate in Mathematics

The Undergraduate Certificate in Science is your opportunity to learn more about the world the around you, and dip your toes in an exciting future career in science.This program will introduce you to the nature and role of science in society. You’ll examine what science is, the importance of science for sustainable development, and learn about the role of ethical conduct in scientific endeavour.You’ll explore keys topics in biology, such as metabolism, growth and production, sensing and response, and adaption and evolution, and have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in practical laboratory experiences. You will also learn how to collect and analyse scientific data and statistics, and be introduced to data management software where you’ll learn how to present and communicate statistical information effectively.This program has been developed in consultation with industry experts, such as Fementasmania and the aquaculture industry, and incorporates learning through practice by giving you authentic learning experiences. This means you’ll be developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry demands, placing you in good stead for a future career in science-based growth industries, such as fermentation or salmon aquaculture. If you complete the Undergraduate Certificate in Science and wish to continue further study, you can apply for an Associate Degree in Applied Science or Bachelor of Science.

Gain fundamental science knowledge and skills to set you on a pathway to career success. You’ll explore real world tools and techniques in chemistry, physics, and maths. Visualise yourself as a science professional and prep for your future.

Undergraduate Certificate in Science

Data Science is an inter-disciplinary field, drawing on mathematics, statistics, and computer science, that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.This course provides the necessary foundations in the disciplines of mathematics, statistics and computer science, and develops student knowledge and skills in some of the key tools and techniques relevant to data science. It also pays specific attention to ethical issues surrounding the manner in which data is gathered, stored and analysed/utilised.Data Science is a significant area of growth and potential employment in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

This subject is designed to further the knowledge of students on number analysis, using statistical measures and using tools to visualise numbers and patterns such as using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). It provides a broad introduction to statistical practice and data analysis techniques. It aims to equip students with a basic understanding of statistics, such that they are able to employ appropriate methods of analysis in various circumstances. The techniques learnt are widely used in the sciences, social sciences, business areas and many other fields of study. This subject is an essential part of the mathematics program and is specifically designed in consultation with education providers to meet the needs of teacher training for Education students.

Statistics

The rationale for this unit is that students must be able to use, interpret and critique information presented in numerical form to successfully engage in academic culture and communication. Just as understanding information communicated via words (literacy) is core to academic culture and communication, so too is information communicated via numbers (numeracy). Proficiency and confidence in working with numbers is therefore essential to student success at university regardless of discipline of study.This unit, along with the broader program of study provided by the university preparation pathway focuses on developing increasingly sophisticated and refined mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills embedded in accessible contexts. These proficiencies enable students to respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations by employing mathematical strategies to make informed decisions and solve problems efficiently. “To be numerate requires more than being able to operate with numbers: it requires mathematical knowledge and understanding, mathematical problem-solving skills, literacy skills and positive beliefs and attitudes” (Department of Education, Employment and Welfare, Australian Core Skills Framework, Commonwealth of Australia, 2008). When students become numerate, they can manage situations or solve problems in real contexts such as everyday life, work or further learning. They are able to identify, interpret and communicate mathematical ideas and information and represent these ideas in a number of ways.
