If your mathematical background is insufficient for direct entry to the MSc in Mathematics and its Applications, you may apply for this course. The first year of the programme has been designed to give you a strong background in mathematics, equivalent to the Graduate Diploma in Mathematics. This is followed by the MSc in Mathematics and its Applications.

Course content

Modules in the first year include, but are not limited to:

• Analysis
• Complex Analysis
• Discrete Mathematics
• Elements of Abstract Analysis
• Groups,Rings and Fields
• Groups and Representations
• Linear Algebra
• Nonlinear Systems and Mathematical Biology
• Numerical Solutions of Differential Equations
• Polynomials in Several Variables
• Topics in Applied Mathematics.

Depending on your background, the Advanced English for Academic Study (Science) module may be taken. In the second year, you follow the standard MSc in Mathematics and its Applications programme described previously.

Assessment

Closed book examinations, take-home problem assignments and computer lab assignments (depending on the module).
