Master of Mathematical Sciences (Research)
The Master of Mathematical Sciences (Research) program requires 72 units, with
- A minimum of 30 units from group 1 and 2, of which a minimum of 18 units should be from group 2.
- 24 units from group 3 including a minimum of 12 units of MATH8701.
- The remaining 18 units can be made up of other mathematically related courses, including
MATH2405 and MATH2406, relevant courses from other areas, and reading courses,
all subject to the approval of the program coordinator.

Each student's program of study and assessment will be individually tailored to the interests and vocational requirements of the student, in consultation with the course coordinator.
Students may enrol in related graduate courses offered by other programs with the permission of the course coordinator and may be permitted to include the following 2 courses in their program if they are necessary background:
Some courses will only be offered if there is staff available and sufficient student interest.
Students must achieve a grade of 70% or more in a minimum of 24 units of coursework in the Master of Mathematical Sciences program before they are permitted to transfer to the Master of Mathematical Sciences (Research) program.
