Modules and MSc Project

The MSc programme, which starts in late September, is offered full-time over one year or part-time over two. Students are required to take eight modules (one MSc module typically comprises 24 hours of lectures and 12 hours of tutorials given in a 12 week semester), and in addition to submit a project dissertation (completed during the summer). Students choose their modules according to their background and interests, in consultation with their Advisor. A part-time student typically needs to attend lectures for two or three half-days per week during a teaching semester.

In addition to the MSc modules in mathematics and statistics offered at Queen Mary, students can also choose up to two modules from a range of advanced mathematics modules offered at other Colleges of the University of London. Students may also choose up to two approved Level 6 undergraduate modules as part of their programme requirements.
