Bachelor of Mathematics

Duration

A BMath program generally lasts three years with a fourth "honours" year in Canada and Australia. BMath programs are increasingly taking about five years to complete because of coop or internship placements

Difference between the BMath and BSc

 in practice, this is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of ScienceBachelor of Arts degree with a specialty in mathematics. Relatively few institutions award Bachelor of Mathematics degrees, and the distinction between those that do and those that award B.Sc or B.A. degrees for mathematics is usually bureaucratic, rather than curriculum related. However, schools that offer a Bachelor of Mathematics degree argue for a separate degree, maintaining that the study of mathematics is vastly different from other fields.

Queensland University of Technology

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is an Australian university with an applied emphasis in courses and research. Based in Brisbane, it has 40,000 students, including 6,000 international students, over 4,000 staff members, and an annual budget of more than AU$750 million
QUT is marketed as "A university for the real world". The university is a member of the Australian Technology Network, a network of Australian universities that are strongly focused on technological research

History

QUT has a history that dates back to 1849 In 1990, the Queensland University of Technology—a combination of four predecessor institutions—merged with the Brisbane College of Advanced Education—a culmination of seven predecessor institutions—to form the current Queensland University of Technology.
QUT,s predecessor institutions include:
  • Brisbane School of Arts (1849)
  • Brisbane Technical College (1882)
  • Central Technical College (1908)
  • Brisbane Kindergarten Training College (1911)
  • Queensland Teachers Training College (1914)
  • Kedron Park Teachers College (1961)
  • Queensland Institute of Technology (1965)
  • Brisbane Kindergarten Teachers College (1965)
  • North Brisbane College of Advanced Education (1974)
  • Kelvin Grove College of Advanced Education (1976)
  • Brisbane College of Advanced Education (1982)
  • Queensland University of Technology (1989)
The Gardens Point campus was once solely occupied by the 19th Century building, Old Government House. In 1909, during the relocation of the Governor's residence, Old Government House and the surrounding five hectares were set-aside for both a University and a Technical College. The first university on the site was the University of Queensland. This University was moved to St Lucia in 1945, where it remains today.

 Research

QUT is committed to establishing collaborative partnerships that result in industry, government, and community solutions. QUT has an established track record in attracting national grants and industry funding.
