What can I do with my degree?

Develop the specialist skills that employers want:

• Maths specialisations: Choose to major in Data Science and Analytics, Applied or Pure Mathematics, Applied Statistics, 

• Physics specialisations: Choose to major in Physics, or Nuclear Science and Technology.

• Choose more than one: Many UOW undergraduate programs allow you to combine complementary specialisations in a double-major degree, or a double degree. 

Become part of UOW's learning and research environment:

• UOW Mathematics graduates are in demand across a range of industries including finance, defence and security, health care, and the IT sector. 
• Our Medical and Radiation Physics program is backed by clinical associations with local and Sydney hospitals—over 50% of current practising medical physicists in NSW were educated and trained at UOW.
• The UOW School of Physics is ranked 'above world standard performance' by Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) in Condensed Matter Physics and Medical Radiation Physics.
• The Excellence in Research for Australia also ranked the UOW School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics 'above world standard'.
• Be supported by highly qualified academic staff with expertise across a range of disciplines within mathematics and physical science.

A degree from UOW opens doors:

• Real-world exposure: Our close ties with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and the Australian Synchrotron ensure you receive industry exposure throughout your degree.
• Access to experts: Learn from industry guest lecturers.
• Be rewarded: Earn an industry-sponsored prize or cadetship.
• Industry collaboration: UOW has a strong research reputation in collaboration with industry.
• Recognised and employed: Our Medical and Radiation Physics program is backed by clinical associations with local and Sydney hospitals—over 50% of current practising medical physicists in NSW were educated and trained at UOW.

Undergraduate degrees: 

• All UOW Physics degrees are fully accredited by the Australian Institute of Physics.
• The Bachelor of Medical and Radiation Physics conforms to the requirements for membership of the Australian Institute of Physics.
• Our Bachelor of Mathematics Education course is accredited and recognised as a national professional teaching qualification. Students seeking work outside NSW or Australia are advised to check with potential employers and other teacher registration authorities for any additional requirements.
• The UOW Bachelor of Mathematics and Finance (Honours) is accredited by the Australian Mathematical Society. Completion of this degree provides ‘points’ towards membership of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA). Specific majors may carry other accreditations.
• Students who complete the Bachelor of Medical Biotechnology (Honours) may apply for membership of relevant professional societies such as the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and the Australian Society for Microbiology. 
• The Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry meets the qualifying standards of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. Students who meet the course requirements will be eligible for corporate membership as Chartered Chemists.
• Completion of the Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry qualifies graduates for membership of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.

Postgraduate coursework:
