The Master of Science and Technology in Mathematics (Program 8718) is intended for students who have completed a Mathematics or Statistics degree in a Science and/or Mathematics program, or a degree in a related area , and who wish to further their knowledge and skills in the mathematical and statistical sciences.

The project will be supervised by an academic staff member of the School in an area agreed to by the student and supervisor. The project may consist of either a critical review of the literature in a specific field of mathematics, or it may be a short research project.

Each candidate's proposed program of study requires the approval of Postgraduate Coursework Co-ordinator.
