What are our chances of being struck by lightning? What is the best response to a viral outbreak? Questions like these are studied and answered in Applied Mathematics, the use of mathematical modelling to resolve a wide variety of practical problems.

The Applied Mathematics program, offered as both a BA or a BSc degree, will provide you with a solid knowledge base in mathematics. Mathematics has important applications not only in fields such as computer science, physics, engineering, chemistry, biology and psychology, but also in economics and business. Learn to use computer simulations and equations to make the structures of modern life more efficient and user-friendly.

Given the interdisciplinary nature of Applied Mathematics, career choices for graduates are broad. They might gain employment as environmental scientists, economists, epidemiological analysts, cryptographers, engineers, actuaries or researchers.
