Description Contents Requirements Funding

Since 1980 the Mathematics Department has offered a Master of Science Degree which requires, both, course study and a Thesis work. The aim of this Program is to provide the students with a strong mathematical background, and at the same time to enable them to specialize in one of their chosen areas of interest in Mathematics. Many students had graduated from the Department through this option. Currently the Department is planning the introduction of a Master's Program by courses only. This aims at providing the student with a broad background of a number of courses which makes it possible for him to work in more than one field, in addition to the possibility of continuing his postgraduate study for a Ph.D. degree.
