Graduate Taught (level 9 nfq, credits 120)
The M.A. in Mathematics is specifically designed to provide students with solid mathematical knowledge. Students acquire a much sought after qualification that can be applied to a wide variety of careers.
- Wide selection of taught modules incorporating many areas of mathematics.
- Exposure to state-of-the-art mathematical topics.
- Opportunity for independent study in an area or application of interest through a minor thesis under the guidance of an individual supervisor.
Course Description
The MA contains two streams – Mathematics or Applied and Computational Mathematics. Both streams offer an attractive alternative to the more standard 24-month pathway of the Higher Diploma followed by the MSc in Mathematical Sciences. On successful completion of the programme you will have the knowledge, experience and confidence to pursue a PhD in mathematics, or a related discipline, have attained an advanced and modern mathematical and computational training, developed excellent presentation skills and acquired a much soughtafter qualification that can be applied to a wide variety of careers in the quantitative, financial, and IT sectors.
