Bachelors of Music / Mathematics - Pure Mathematics

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. Focus on the intrinsic nature and fundamental properties of mathematics, and recognise its ubiquity, universality and beauty. Gain a solid foundation in pure mathematics and sharpen your ability to think critically, analytically and abstractly. This major sets you up for advanced study in pure mathematics at the honours or graduate level, while also opening doors to pursue deeper research in related fields such as applied mathematics, mathematical physics, mathematical artificial intelligence, data science and statistics. You'll acquire a solid grounding in the key areas of pure mathematics, with opportunities to deepen your knowledge through advanced courses. Choose to combine your major with a minor in bioinformatics, computational science, computer science, physics, science communication or statistics.
