理学硕士（MSc）是两年制学位，涵盖课程和研究。第一年主要涉及课程工作和初步研究准备。学生将有机会为现有的研究领域做出贡献，或开始开发新的领域。可以在下面列出的任何学科中研究MSc，并且可以通过课程和论文的结合或仅通过论文来获得。拥有学士学位的学生将通过论文和论文（至少两年的全日制学习）完成硕士学位。拥有荣誉学位或研究生文凭的学生只能按论文完成学位（至少学习一年）。<br>数学在所有层次上都是有价值的，它既可以作为对物理系统进行定量建模的工具，又可以作为支撑和描述过程，对象或结构的逻辑框架。
We use mathematics for practical things like organising the arrival of materials on a building site in order to reduce storage, encrypting and decrypting internet messages, modelling blood flow through a damaged heart, and predicting the break-up of ice floes.<br>These are all mathematics in action mathematics making a real difference in the world where we live. Mathematics looks at the distribution of prime numbers, the properties of geometric figures, how dependent variables change, and what happens when you add up infinitely many terms.<br>Studying these ideas lays the foundation for using mathematics to solve real-life problems. You build a solid foundation for analysing and understanding the mass of quantitative data that is available these days. You develop problem solving and organisational skills that are highly sought after by employers. You learn to think both logically and creatively. You discover an amazingly varied and profoundly rich science that has an intrinsic beauty. You get your mind around some of the ancient problems that have fascinated humans for centuries.<br><br>A candidate achieving the degree by papers and a thesis shall normally follow a programme for the equivalent of not less than two years of full-time study and not more than three years of full-time study, and a candidate achieving the degree by thesis alone shall normally follow a programme of study for the equivalent of not less than one year of full-time study and not more than two years of full-time study.
