Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (Applied Mathematics, Statistics or Optimisation)

SATAC Code: 434661
UniSA Program Code: LBMA
Program Director: Mr Kevin White

A three year program providing a choice of professional major in either Applied Mathematics, Statistics or Optimisation.  The Bachelor of Mathematical Science is tailored for those who wish to pursue their interest in mathematics. It provides fundamental studies in areas of modern applicable mathematics which are well suited to equip students for employment in industry, commerce, government and teaching.

Graduates with sufficiently high grades can take the Honours program in Industrial and Applied Mathematics (LHMS) as a fourth year. More detailed information including courses and requirements is available on the University Program website for LBMA.

LBMA is taught at our Mawson Lakes Campus.

Bachelor of Science

SATAC  code: 434201
UniSA Program Code: LBSC
Program Director: Mr Kevin White

The School of Mathematics and Statistics also offers a three year Bachelor of Science Program. The program aims to produce graduates who have an understanding of the fundamental concepts of the sciences that they have elected to study, while the emphasis on laboratory and fieldwork is designed to give graduates the necessary skills to apply their knowledge.

Detailed information including courses and requirements is available on the University program website for LBSC.

Graduates with sufficiently high grades may be given the opportunity to proceed to the one year Honours program LHSC.

Depending on course choice, the LBSC is taught over several campuses.

NEW Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Ecology and Biodiversity, Medical and Health Physics, Nanotechnology and Biomaterials, Sustainable Energy or Water Science)

SATAC  Code: 434731
UniSA Program Code: LHSH
Program Director: Mr Kevin White
 

Science is concerned with the systematic study of the nature and behaviour of the physical universe by observation, experiment and measurement. It enables us to model the universe and to make predictions and informed decisions.
The study of science is always changing and developing. In the modern world there is concern about the problems associated with dependence on fossil fuels and the need for a dependable supply of clean water. At the same time there are exciting research developments in materials and devices at the nanometre scale that will drive future advances in health, biotechnology, optoelectronics, and materials science.
This four year degree with Honours is designed for high achieving students with enthusiasm for scientific studies of fundamental importance to today’s society. The program will provide students with advanced learning opportunities in one of the five significant areas of scientific endeavour. Each of these specialisations is closely matched to the University’s research profile.

This program will be taught mainly on the Mawson Lakes Campus, with some courses at City East.

More information can be found on the LHSH website.

NEW Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences, Bachelor of Laws double degree

SATAC code: 424471  Stream code: 811
UniSA Program Code: DBLD
Program Director: To be advised

NEW Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Laws double degree

SATAC  code: 424471  Stream code: 814
UniSA Program Code: DBLD
Program Director: To be advised

The Law Double Degree enables students to study the standard academic qualification required for legal practice concurrently with a Mathematical Sciences or Science degree. It will provide a professional level of education for students seeking to pursue a legal career. Study in a complementary discipline will provide students with the background to enable them to operate in a range of working environments.

The duration of the double degree program is 5 years of fulltime study. Law courses will be available at City West, with Mathematical Sciences and Science courses at Mawson Lakes or City East.

More information can be found on the DBLD Program page.

Further information can also be located at the School of Law http://www.unisa.edu.au/law/  or Future Student Enquiries

Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Education double degree

SATAC  code: 434611
UniSA Program Code: LBES
Program Director: Mr Bruce White

This double degree prepares students for secondary school science and mathematics teaching. It gives students an understanding of the fundamental concepts of the sciences and the laboratory skills needed to teach effectively in a classroom.

Duration: 4 years fulltime.

Education courses at Mawson Lakes, science courses Mawson Lakes, City East or Magill, according to selection.

More information can be found on the LBES program page.
