Why choose this course?

Mathematics and information technology are interrelated disciplines. This double degree provides you with the knowledge and skills to develop solutions for complex problems that provide great benefits to society. In the first year you will build a foundation in mathematics and information technology and then select integrated strands combining units from the areas of applied and computational mathematics, operations research, or statistics with the combined information technology specialisation of your choice. 

What to expect

Future-proof your career with this double degree, seamlessly integrating mathematics and information technology. In the initial year, you'll delve into foundational concepts across both disciplines before choosing your specialised path. 

Select from integrated strands spanning applied mathematics, computational mathematics, operations research, statistics, or financial mathematics. Paired with a Data Communications and Software Engineering major, this course will equip you with the tools to create and implement cutting-edge IT solutions across various industries.  

Our hands-on approach, anchored in real-world projects, gives you a deep understanding of your chosen major, allowing you to explore diverse areas within these fields.
