Location: North Terrace Campus
Duration: 1 year (full-time or part-time? equivalent)
Degree/Award: Masters by Coursework

Program Outline

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

Candidates undertaking the Masters program must complete a research project, which is worth one quarter (6 units) of their program in addition to their coursework (18 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.

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.
