MASTERS LEVEL

Our Department offers the following programs at Masters Level.

(a) Applied  Mathematic

Normally candidates will not be admitted to the Masters qualification unless they have obtained an average of at least 60% for the Honours degree at the first attempt. The qualification may be obtained in one of the two ways, i.e. –   An extended dissertation (MAP 770, 256 credits); or

A dissertation of limited scope (MAP 750, 200 credits), plus two papers each carrying 28 credits selected from those listed below. These papers must be selected in consultation with the Programme Coordinator. The Masters papers listed below cover the same topics as in the Honours papers but in greater depth.

MAP 701: Advanced Mathematical Methods.           (28 credits)

MAP 702: Group representation Theory                  (28 credits)

MAP 703: Mathematical Modelling.                          (28 credits)

MAP 704: Relativity Theory.                                    (28 credits)

MAP 705: Calculus of Variations.                             (28 credits)
