数学科学理学硕士（研究）为学生提供了获得研究技能并加深数学领域之一知识的机会。该计划的目的是通过掌握大量的数学文献以及在指导者的指导下进行的原始研究工作，对候选人进行专业发展。该研究学位为毕业生提供了获得高水平研究技能并大大加深他们在数学或统计学领域知识的机会。学生在主管的指导下工作，该主管是该学院的专职学术人员。可能要求学生修读研究方法论中规定的科目，或要求其主要指导者修读任何其他学科。
The Master of Science (Research) in Mathematical Sciences provides an opportunity to acquire research skills and to deepen knowledge in one of the areas of mathematics. The aim of the program is the professional development of candidates through mastery of a substantial body of mathematical literature together with original research work under the guidance of a supervisor.This research degree provides an opportunity for graduates to acquire high-level research skills and substantially deepen their knowledge in an area of mathematics or statistics. Students work under the guidance of a supervisor who is a full-time academic staff member of the faculty. Students may be required to take a prescribed subject in research methodology or any other subject deemed necessary by their principal supervisor.Skills in research and the ability to think mathematically are in growing demand in industry, finance and various government organisations. As a consequence, graduates of this course significantly broaden their career choices, and the research topic may be chosen to further facilitate their career paths, for example, in senior levels of market research, quantitative management and quantitative finance.
