Introduction
The Master of Science in Mathematics is designed to provide advanced training in mathematical sciences. Students of the programme are expected to acquire advanced knowledge in modern mathematics, including pure and applied mathematics, and in other interdisciplinary areas. This programme lays a solid foundation in mathematics for students to meet the growing demands by industry and to pursue advanced studies such as Ph.D. in Mathematics.
Programme Structure
Designed for students with a robust foundation in mathematical sciences, this programme offers two tracks: Track 1 and Track 2.
- Track 1 is a 40-unit programme consisting of five basic elective courses and five general electives course. Full-time Track 1 students have a minimum candidature period of 1 year and a maximum of 2 years, while part-time students have a minimum candidature period of 2 years and a maximum of 4 years.
- Track 2 is an exclusive 80-unit programme tailored for students who do not have an Honours Degree (or equivalent) in mathematics but are enrolled in either a MSc in Mathematics (Joint Education) programme or a ‘3+2’ programme with our partner universities.
