Mathematics (MSc)

About this programme

Our Master of Science (MSc) in Mathematics is focused on four areas: financial mathematics, mathematical modelling, statistics and data science, and pure mathematics (in particular, graph theory, Lie algebras and symplectic geometry). Our strength is in preparing students for practical applications and skills applicable in real life. The MSc is normally completed full-time but may also be completed through part-time studies. There are three program options: The Thesis option is normally completed in 6 consecutive academic terms. Thesis students must complete the following: For the thesis option, at most 0.5 credits at the 500 level may be counted towards the program credit requirement.
