Course summary
Be part of our vision to advance mathematical knowledge and understanding through impactful research.
We aim to create new applications and techniques that benefit the mathematics community and society in general. Our connections across the University, and with industrial partners and policymakers, will enable you to exchange ideas and build connections to advance your research and enhance your employability.
Your research
Your research will culminate in a thesis on a topic agreed between you and your supervisor. Your thesis must contain a substantial piece of research which includes some original work. This could include new ideas, or original commentary on material which is currently considered to be at the forefront of mathematical knowledge.
Work on your thesis is guided by regular meetings with your supervisor. You'll be assessed wholly on the basis of your thesis, although your degree can include some taught modules.
At the end of your degree, you'll have up to three months to finish writing up your research.
Assessment for the award of the degree of MSc Mathematics (by research) will be by an examination of your thesis. While an oral (viva voce) examination is only necessary if requested by the examiners, you will normally be invited to give a seminar presentation about your research to the other members of your research group.
The expectation of the Department of Mathematics is that a thesis submitted for the MSc (by research) degree will typically consist of between 50 and 80 A4 sized pages
