A Master of Mathematical Sciences (Advanced) will upgrade your broad skills in the mathematical sciences, while allowing you to develop your own area of expertise.
You will learn from academics active at the very cutting edge of mathematics research, and graduate with a degree from Australia’s national university, internationally renowned for excellence in mathematical education.
You can tailor the Master of Mathematical Sciences (Advanced) to meet your particular study needs and research interests. Choose from subject areas including pure mathematics, mathematical modelling, bioinformatics, fractal geometry and applications to digital imaging, number theory and cryptography, scientific and industrial modelling, computational mathematics, and applications of mathematics.
You can also pursue study in related disciplines such as statistics, computer science, financial mathematics and econometrics, physics, and the biological sciences.
The program incorporates a year-long research project which you will complete under the supervision of one of our leading researchers. If you are looking for a coursework-only program, consider the Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences also offered by ANU.
Testimonials
Shuaige Qiao
“My favourite thing is the flexibility of choosing courses. If you just went to lectures and exams every semester it would be boring. You need to try other ways to learn, like reading courses or courses in special topics, which only have five or six students, so you can talk to your teacher.”
Jiannan Yang
“There were some courses I knew would be challenging before I enrolled in them, but one of those, called Analysis 2, ended up being a favourite of mine. The pace of learning and the problems set for us were appropriate for what we were learning. This course really boosted my confidence from the very first semester.”
