Applied Mathematics
Mathematics is the backbone of society. From the algorithms that define how we send money and how we predict disease infection rates to how we predict the weather and how we design and build infrastructure — mathematics exists far beyond the textbooks.
If problem solving inspires you, our applied maths degrees will give you a deep understanding of mathematical and numerical methods to describe real world behaviour — and predict it.
When you study mathematics at Swinburne, you’ll understand how to analyse big data and other complex systems. Through our maths courses you’ll also learn to use your skills to process information across a wide range of industries.

"I love how learning math changes how you look at the world. It’s amazing when you look at something, such as a plane flying by, or water rotating as it goes down the drain, and know the maths behind how it works."
Claire , current Swinburne student, Bachelor of Science with a major in Applied Mathematics

"The classes at Swinburne were about much more than just learning theory and the teachers made the experience incredible. They are always open to discussion, always willing to help students, and so knowledgeable. I gained skills in science and problem solving that I will take with me for the entirety of my career."
Holly , Swinburne alumna, Bachelor of Science with a major in Applied Mathematics and Physics
