Rebecca's story

'I chose to study at QUT because it offers a double degree that combines my passion for technology and maths. This allows me to graduate with two degrees in a shorter amount of time while still pursuing my interests. I also love the flexibility of not choosing a major right away, allowing me to explore different aspects of the degree before committing to a specific area.'

Push beyond your limits

'I chose to study a double degree in maths and IT because I had an interest in mathematics, and did small programming projects for fun in high school. Throughout my degree, I have been involved in in various IT and maths projects which built my confidence, serving as proof that I am capable of learning on the job and can deliver value to a community. I recommend QUT to others because there will always be something meaningful for you here, not just academically. It is a good place to find like-minded people and to push beyond your limits.'

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.

Explore this course

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.

In this double degree program, you'll complete coursework from each of the two degrees with additional QUT You units. The Bachelor of Information Technology comprises core units and a major in either Computer Science or Information Systems. Meanwhile, the Bachelor of Mathematics program includes core units and a major in areas such as Applied and Computational Mathematics, Operations Research, or Statistics.

Financial support

You should consider applying for an industry-sponsored mathematics bursary or an information technology scholarship to help you financially throughout your studies.

Other study options

Careers and outcomes

Mathematics underpins much of information technology, especially in the more advanced areas of development and analysis. As a graduate you may find employment as a data visualisation specialist, operations research specialist, computational scientist, statistician (there is high demand in the insurance industry), or work in complex system and scientific modelling.

Professional recognition

Graduates may be eligible for membership in the Australian Mathematical Society (AMS), ANZIAM (Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics, a division of AMS), the Australian Society for Operations Research Inc. (ASOR) and the Statistical Society of Australia, depending on unit selections. This course is accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). ACS accreditation is internationally recognised by the Seoul Accord.
