BSc in Mathematical Modelling in Canberra Australia | The Australian National University

Models have grown into essential tools across various sectors of contemporary society, driven by scientific and technological progress. As our comprehension of these models deepens, the sophistication of the inquiries we pursue also rises. This major aims to equip students with skills in model creation, application, and evaluation.

Future scientists, industry leaders, resource managers, and policymakers must possess the capability to construct, assess, and interpret models or their outputs. Graduates can explore diverse career paths in research (e.g., CSIRO, universities), the public sector (e.g., Bureau of Meteorology, Murray Darling Basin Authority, state agencies), and the private sector (e.g., engineering, finance).

Learning Outcomes
Utilize mathematical principles such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations to examine problems and determine suitable mathematical solutions.
Leverage programming and statistical analysis to effectively model systems.
Identify the interplay between mathematics and other fields, recognizing how mathematical concepts integrate into different contexts.
Frame real-world scientific and technological systems within a mathematical structure.
Apply appropriate techniques to analyze, solve, and assess the effectiveness of mathematical models.
