Course summary
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. 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. Why study with us? You will be taught by helpful, enthusiastic academic staff who are world-experts in their fields. The programme is flexible and it allows you to choose modules in different areas or specialise in one. 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). We expect to be able to offer on-campus accommodation to all new full-time postgraduate students coming from outside the London area. Facilities 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. You will have access to Queen Mary's 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.

Entry requirements
The majority of our applicants will have an undergraduate degree with first class or upper second class honours (or international equivalent). Offers will typically be made at 2.1 level (upper second class) or equivalent. Students with a good lower second class degree may be considered on an individual basis. In some cases your offer may include additional conditions, such as minimum grades in specified modules, in order to ensure that you are sufficiently qualified for our MSc programmes. For this programme we expect you to have completed an undergraduate degree in mathematics, or in mathematics with another subject, such as statistics, physics or computing. Your undergraduate modules must provide sufficient background to enable you to take an appropriate selection of our MSc modules. Students from outside of the UK help form a global community here at QMUL. For detailed country-specific entry requirements please visit the International section of the QMUL website. If your first language is not English, you must provide evidence of your English language proficiency. Non-native English speakers are required to have minimum of IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. Find out more about our English language entry requirements. If you have not achieved the required English language level yet, you may be eligible to take a Pre-sessional English course, or continue to take English language tests in your country to reach the level needed.
