| The Department is engaged in a broad range of research in pure and applied mathematics and statistics, and offers programs leading to the M.A., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics or statistics. The M.A. and M.Sc. degrees normally require two years of study, and students may chose either a report option or a thesis option for the research component of the degree. The Ph.D. program is an advanced, research-oriented course of study for which an original contribution to knowledge in the form of a dissertation is to be written and defended. The Ph.D. program involves course work, comprehensive examinations, seminars, original research, and the defence of the dissertation. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Applicants to the Ph.D. program should have an M.Sc. degree or its equivalent, and show strong evidence of research potential. At the time the recommendation is made, the supervisor(s) must be identified, and in faculties lacking formal departments, the Dean of the faculty or designate must indicate approval. An applicant who is judged deficient in background training or in courses prerequisite to scholarly work in the particular subject(s) of study and research will not be admitted as a doctoral student. An applicant may be admitted as a Master's student and be required to undertake specific courses or activities towards establishing appropriate credentials, but any graduate study undertaken for this purpose cannot be counted as time spent toward formal requirements for the degree. Alternatively, an applicant may be accepted at the Master's level as a means of illustrating suitability to enter a doctoral program, and after the first year may request, through the academic unit, a transfer to a Ph.D. program |
