About the course
This two-year full-time Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences lets you deepen expertise across pure and applied mathematics. You can tailor study to interests such as mathematical modelling and computational mathematics, and explore applications in areas like biology, astronomy, physics and environmental science. The program also allows links to related disciplines including statistics, computer science and econometrics.
What you might learn
You will build advanced mathematical capability through higher-level coursework, including substantial study in MATH discipline courses. The program develops skills in rigorous reasoning, modelling and problem solving, and supports special-topic or reading-course work in selected areas. It is designed to strengthen foundations for advanced professional practice or further study involving mathematical and computational methods.
Career outcome
Graduates may pursue roles applying advanced mathematics in research, government and industry. Typical pathways include mathematical modelling and analysis, data- and computation-focused roles, quantitative work in science and engineering domains, and positions supporting research in areas such as physics, biology, environmental science, or interdisciplinary quantitative fields such as statistics, computing and econometrics.
Entry requirements
Applicants must hold a Bachelor degree (or international equivalent) with a minimum GPA of 5.0/7.0. They must also have completed at least 8 courses in a cognate discipline with a minimum GPA of 5.0/7.0; where more than 8 cognate courses exist, ANU assesses the best 8. Admission is competitive and also requires meeting ANU English language proficiency requirements.
