Department Of Mathematics And Statistics - La Trobe University

Schools Australia introduces Department Of Mathematics And Statistics - La Trobe University in Bundoora, for all your education and learning needs.

We have a reputation as one of Australia's most progressive teaching departments in the Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, a place where students actively learn Mathematics and Statistics in an informal environment. This has been matched by excellent responses in the national Course Experience Questionnaires administered by Graduate Careers Council of Australia over many years. For example, in the past three years, La Trobe Mathematics and Statistics degrees have ranked in the top 3 Australia wide on both the Good Teaching Scale and Overall Satisfaction items, including an unrivalled 3 first or equal-first placings, and missing the top placing just once amongst universities in Victoria.

Why are La Trobe Maths & Stats graduates so happy? Because to engage with our broad intake of students, we really emphasise student participation in the learning process, with fewer lectures and more tutorial classes. The focus is on doing, rather than listening. We also tailor-make our own teaching materials including subject texts, which saves students money and which are completely adapted to our teaching style, unlike traditional textbooks.
