The Masters program allows candidates to expand their mathematical background and communication skills in a variety of mathematical disciplines, at a postgraduate level.

Mathematical sciences courses are in the areas of applied mathematics, pure mathematics or statistics. Applied mathematics courses cover topics that aim to achieve a balance between mathematical theories and practical applications of mathematics in the world around us. Pure mathematics courses are fundamental to applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, mathematical physics and many other areas of application and they also offer valuable training in rigour and logical thinking. Statistics courses provide the training to enable graduates to solve real-world problems by appropriately collecting, analysing and modelling data.

Intending students should consult the School of Mathematical Sciences early in the year in which they plan to study to confirm if particular courses are available.

Candidates must complete a research project, to the value of 9 units, in addition to coursework to the value of 15 units. As a part of the program candidates must also present a seminar on their research. Candidates have the chance to specialise in one discipline, or choose a broader selection of courses, possibly including some from other institutions, thereby customising the program to the candidate's interests.
