ICE-EM has conducted interviews with 12 Australian mathematics graduates to help people visualise the careers that a degree in mathematics or statistics may lead to. These interviews are available on the Careers in Mathematics and Statistics website through interactive profiles that provide text, audio and video excerpts as well as full interview transcripts.

Careers Pack

The AMSI/ICE-EM Careers Pack intends to provide students and their parents with well-informed advice on careers in the mathematical sciences.
We have two main objectives:

• students understand the value of mathematics as a discipline
• students are aware of the career options that emanate from the study of mathematcis and statictics

The Carees Pack consists of:

• Maths and you posters and booklets
• Careers DVD
• Current Maths ad(d)s

Careers Packs are $25.00 each for members institutions, and $30.00 for non-members.

Please download the order form, fill it out and return it to AMSI.  This form can also be used to order items seperately such as the Maths and you posters/booklet, Careers DVD and Math ad(d)s.
