Description of programs

The department of Mathematics and Statistics of Memorial University of Newfoundland offers graduate programs leading to three degrees

Master of Applied Statistics (MAS)
- The MAS is a highly structured program incorporating six graduate courses and practicum (an applied statistics project). A full-time student with an honours degree in statistics normally requires four to five semesters to complete the degree requirements.

Master of Science (MSc, research based program)
- The M.Sc. programs in mathematics and in statistics require the completion of five graduate courses and a thesis. Each program should normally be completed within two years.

Master of Science (MSc, course based program)
- This is an intensive program in mathematics consisting of six graduate courses, a seminar and a project. Only full time students are accepted in this program and they are expected to complete the degree in one year.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
- The PhD programs in mathematics and in statistics consist of course work, a two-part comprehensive examination, and a thesis embodying the results of original research of a high calibre. We expect most students to complete the PhD degree program in three to four years. Upon completion of the thesis, a final oral examination and defence of thesis must take place.

Minimum admission requirements

For MAS and MSc: Bachelor's degree (second class) in an appropriate area of study
For PhD: Master's degree in an appropriate area of study
