Students will typically attend at least 10 lectures per week during the regular academic year and give presentations on advanced mathematical topics to the class. During the summer, they will prepare a research project under the guidance of a supervisor.

Course Duration: 1 year full-time

The material in this programme prepares students to do PhD-level research in mathematics and is also excellent preparation for jobs in a variety of areas, including second-level teaching, the IT sector and finance.

Applications for postgraduate courses will open mid-October. Further information on how to apply for the course will be provided then. If you have any queries please contact [email protected]
