Mathematics MSc

The School of Mathematical Sciences offers a flexible MSc in Mathematics to students who have already done very well in a first degree with high mathematical content. The MSc programme, which starts in late September, is offered full-time over one year or part-time over two.<br/>The modules (lecture courses) offered reflect the research strengths of the School of Mathematical Sciences, and are concentrated in pure mathematics (especially algebra and combinatorics), probability and statistics, dynamical systems, and networks. Students can study mostly pure mathematics, pure and applied mathematics (including, if desired, some astronomy and relativity), or mathematics with statistics. The MSc in Mathematics includes a project dissertation, and can provide excellent preparation for those interested in pursuing research in mathematics or statistics.<br/><br/>Why study with us?<br/><br/>You will be taught by helpful, enthusiastic academic staff who are world-experts in their fields.<br/>The programme is flexible and it allows you to choose modules in different areas or specialise in one.<br/>As well as access to the extensive Queen Mary Library resources, MSc Mathematics students enjoy a recently refurbished IT lab for their use in the School Offices (Queens building, W307).<br/>We expect to be able to offer on-campus accommodation to all new full-time postgraduate students coming from outside the London area.<br/><br/>Facilities<br/><br/>The Learning Resource centre has 200 networked PCs and is open to students round the clock, there are dedicated workstations for postgraduate students. MSc Mathematics students benefit from access to a large shared office in the Mathematics Building and a dedicated computer network.<br/>You will have access to Queen Marys comprehensive libraries, including the Postgraduate Reading Room, and The British Library can also be accessed as a research resource. Our library has about 8,000 mathematical books and subscribes to a large number of mathematical journals. There is also access to substantial numbers of electronic journals.
