Programme overview
MSc Mathematics students are required to take eight taught modules, including the compulsory module MTH700P Research Methods in Mathematical Sciences. An MSc taught module typically comprises 24 hours of lectures and 12 hours of tutorials, given during one of the two 12-week teaching semesters. Our currently offered MSc modules in mathematics and statistics are listed below. In addition to these, as part of the taught module requirement, an MSc Maths student may also choose up to two approved Level-6 undergraduate mathematics or statistics modules and up to two approved MSc Astrophysics modules offered by the School of Physics and Astronomy.
An MSc Mathematics student must also submit a project dissertation, which is completed during the summer.
