Description Contents Requirements Funding

The University of Ottawa offers a rich academic environment to study mathematics and statistics under the supervision of professors who have gained an international reputation for their research. Most major fields of research in mathematics and statistics are represented within the Department of mathematics and Statistics. Moreover, the Department is a participating unit in the master's level collaborative programs in bioinformatics and in biostatistics. Additional information about the Department and its programs is posted on the departmental website at www.mathstat.uottawa.ca.

The Department offers a PhD program and an MSc program in mathematics and statistics.

Since 1984, the graduate programs in mathematics and statistics have been under the umbrella of the Ottawa-Carleton Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (OCIMS). The OCIMS consists of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Carleton University and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Ottawa. The two units have pooled together their resources to offer each year a large selection of graduate courses.

The programs are governed by the graduate studies regulations of the two universities. Graduate courses are generally offered in English. However, research activities can be conducted in English or French or both depending on the language used by the professor and the members of the research group.
