Where science and technology come together.
The School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences combines interdisciplinary areas in forensic science, mathematics and statistics, analytical, physical and chemical sciences.
We do research that matters, in an industry-oriented, multidisciplinary environment. Our research-informed teaching approach, delivered by experienced academics and tutors, produces graduates who are highly skilled and who will make a difference in society.
Solving challenges such as sustainability, health, security and peace as well as responding to the opportunities of the digital and space age requires a deep understanding of mathematical and physical sciences.
We are amongst the highest ranked Physical and Mathematical Sciences School at a Technology University, globally.
Join us, be part of the future.
We have research expertise across a broad range of areas and disciplines.

- Justice and Society.
Study with us
Study Forensic Science, a global profession at the intersection of STEM, law, criminal justice and social impact.
Leverage the power of numbers to solve real challenges. Professionals with the skills to gather, interpret and understand numbers are in high demand. Learn advanced theories and how to apply them in real professional scenarios with a degree in Maths, Statistics and Quantitative Finance.
Our Physics and Quantum Technologies courses will see you examine fundamental phenomena, forces and particles, with an emphasis on materials and fabrication.
A degree in Chemistry is a pathway to infinite possibilities. Build a comprehensive understanding of this fascinating discipline while developing the lab-based skills in-demand by employers across sectors.
This pharmaceutical science major combines a range of medical science subjects with extended learning in chemistry and pharmacology.
Crunch the numbers that matter
Our highly applied Mathematics and Statistics degrees will equip you with the skills to translate mathematical theory into real-world applications.

Before being confronted with the reality of a disaster, police and emergency services need to be prepared as well as they can be under realistic conditions, an important role for the University of Technology Sydney’s Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research, or AFTER.
Story
Researchers at a one-of-a-kind facility are on the hunt for answers to what happens to our bodies after we die. Their findings will not only bring closure to investigations, but help advance forensic science practice around the world.
Story
The hardware side of quantum computers often gets the attention, but researchers are working on the programs and algorithms that will power these machines – and transform computing as we know it.
Story
Designer drugs are constantly evolving. The ability to quickly and accurately detect them must follow suit.
