Master of Philosophy (Mathematics)

Areas of research usually reflect research interests of staff in one of the areas of applied mathematics, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, operations research and statistics. Thesis topics are selected from problems of continuing or emerging significance in mathematics and relate strongly to relevant problems arising from local industry and government.

This research course is of one to two years full-time or equivalent part-time study.
