Highlights
Be in demand with the skills to connect mathematical, statistical and computational knowledge to applications in health and biomedical sciences.
Learn to collect, collate and analyse biomedical data from clinical trials, genetics and patient treatment regimens.
Build and interpret mathematical models that reveal new insights into patient treatment programs.
Develop new models of care that optimise the quality and efficiency of healthcare.
Why choose this course?
This future-focused double degree addresses the increasing demand for biomedical science graduates with enhanced skills in applied mathematics, statistics and operations research.
You will graduate with the ability to collect, collate and analyse data; build and interpret mathematical models that reveal new insights into patient treatment regimens; and develop new models of care that optimise the quality and efficiency of healthcare.
Mathematical modelling is widespread in modern biomedical science, with its capacity for making predictions and revealing insights into many areas of medical research, like cellular mechanisms in tissue, wound and fracture healing, biochemical processes, and the spread of infectious disease.
The field of biomedical science provides an ideal complement for a modern mathematics degree with specialisations in the three contemporary fields - applied mathematics, statistics and operations research - offering an unlimited source of real problems and data requiring interesting and practical mathematical and statistical analysis.
Mathematical and data analytical skills that enable understanding and processing of emerging medical complexities will ensure you are in demand nationally and internationally.
