Master of Philosophy (Mathematical Sciences)

A Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is an internationally recognised graduate research degree.

With guidance from your advisory team, you will undertake a significant research project and complete a 40,000-word thesis and an oral examination. In some circumstances your thesis may involve an alternate format.

The MPhil will take you 1.5 to 2 years to complete full time and will enable you to develop advanced knowledge and methodologies.
