The Department of Mathematics admits students at the beginning of each academic year into its Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programmes. Graduate Assistantships are available to partially support the overall cost of graduate education. However, prospective students will need an additional full scholarship to cover the remaining expenses. More information about scholarships can be found on the student financial aid pages.
