Bachelors of Music / Mathematics - Statistics and Mathematical Data Science

The University of Queensland

Combine your love of maths with your passion for music to prepare for a career that requires both technical expertise and creativity. Music is built on patterns, rhythms and harmonies that beautifully intertwine with mathematical concepts like fractions, symmetry and ratios. Learning both disciplines sharpens problem-solving skills, enhances memory and fosters a unique way of thinking that blends artistic expression with structured reasoning. From composing intricate melodies to analysing the mathematical precision behind sound waves, this combination fuels innovation – whether in music composition, acoustics or even AI-driven sound engineering. Apply the tools of modern statistics and data science to inform data-driven decision making and solve real-world problems. Learn how to use statistical techniques to analyse and interpret complex data, and transform it into meaningful insights. Combine theory with practical experiences that challenge your thinking, expand your analytical capabilities and develop your technical skills. Choose to complement your major with a minor in bioinformatics, computational science, computer science, physics or science communication. Professionals in this field work to improve medical treatments through data-driven experimental designs and leverage meteorological and spatial data to assess and mitigate drought conditions in local communities. You'll graduate in high demand across business, industry, research and government, ready to play a vital role in forecasting, analysing and solving complex problems in diverse fields.
