Introduction
Overview
The M.Sc. in Mathematical Sciences is a 30 credit hour program that is offered both full and part-time within the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Students are required to complete 24 credit hours of coursework in addition to 6 credit hours assigned to research and the completion of an M.Sc. thesis. The coursework includes 4 credit hours of College of Science requirements (Ethics, Research Methods and Statistics), 3 core mathematics courses, and 2 department seminars( a total of 11 credit hours) in addition to 3 elective courses (9 credit hours) that allow the student to specialize in any specific topic related to pure or applied mathematics. Student progress is overseen by a research supervisor (and co-supervisors) and a thesis defence committee. The program is a fee-based program open for all students who meet the entry requirements.
