Graduate Studies

The Department offers exciting and challenging programs leading to MMath and PhD degrees. A broad range of courses are offered, covering the spectrum of pure mathematics. As well, students are welcome to take relevant courses in other departments in the University. All students work one-on-one with their supervisor to prepare a research paper or thesis for their master's degree, and to be guided through the process of doing original research for their PhD. Please take a look at the detailed descriptions of our MMath and PhD programs and courses.
