Entry requirements
-
- The 2026 Lowest Selection Rank (LSR) is the adjusted rank (ATAR plus adjustment factors) you would have needed to gain entry to this degree in 2026.
- The 2026 A levels score is based on four Advanced Level (A2) subjects. Entry scores are calculated from the best three or four A2 subjects (excluding repeated subjects) using the following values: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1. At most one Applied A Level subject may be included in the best four subjects used to calculate the aggregate.
- The 2026 IB Diploma is an indication of the IB you would have needed to gain entry to this degree in 2026. It is to be used as a guide only.
- The 2026 Lowest ATAR is the lowest ATAR (before adjustment factors were applied) to which an offer was made. Where <5 is listed, this indicates that less than 5 ATAR-based offers were made and so the score has not been published. N/A indicates no offers were made on the basis of ATAR.
*The Lowest ATAR to which an offer was made, for this program, is based on a 91É«ÇéƬ Gateway Early Conditional Offer.

Our alumni
"My first reason for choosing to study mathematics at 91É«ÇéƬ was because of the quality and diversity of the faculty, which is one of the largest and most respected in Australia. This gave me the opportunity to study mathematics at a very high level over a broad range of fields. Secondly, a mathematics degree at 91É«ÇéƬ gave​​ me a lot of flexibility with what I wanted to study. This allowed me to extend myself with higher levels of mathematics, as well as to study courses outside of mathematics which I found interesting."
Anthony Morris
Staff Software Engineer, Google
"In the earlier years of my degree, I was exposed to a broad range of mathematical concepts, drawing on things only touched upon in high school. In the upper years, I was then able to choose which part of math really interested me and hone in on my skills by completing focused subjects in the area. The small classes and dedicated time with the academics meant that I was always able to achieve a deeper level of understanding, even with the trickier concepts."
