Applied Math Masters Degree Requirements

(1) A candidate having an Honours Bachelor's degree or equivalent, and who is judged to have a sufficient background in Applied Mathematics, shall normally complete the requirements for the degree of M.Sc. in one of two ways. Either he or she shall complete satisfactorily a minimum of four half courses at the graduate level and prepare a thesis under the direction of a member of the faculty, or she or he shall complete eight half-courses, of which at least four shall be at the graduate level, and prepare and present a review paper under the direction of one of the members of the Department.

(2) A candidate not satisfying the conditions in (1) above shall first be required to enrol in a special undergraduate year, during which she or he must complete satisfactorily a selection of Honours courses, as approved by the supervisory committee of the student.

Applied Math Ph.D. Degree Requirements

(1) An Applicant for the Ph.D. dergree will be expected to hold a M.Sc. degree. However, a student who has registered for a M.Sc. degree may transfer to the Ph.D. degree program without finishing the requirements for the M.Sc. degree provided the student's supervisor and supervisory committee agree.

(2) The course work required for the student, normally four half-courses, will be decided by the supervisory committee, and approved by the Graduate Affairs Committee. The half-courses 505 and 561 are core courses for the AM graduate program and the course selection for every student in the Ph.D. program must include these two half-courses unless they or their equivalent were taken at the M.Sc. level.

(3) All Ph.D. candidates are required to complete successfully a written comprehensive examination in the first year of their program. This examination will ordinarly be offered annually in May or June, at least one month after the end of spring term examinations.

(4) Each student is required to make an oral presentation on the subject of the Ph.D. research work once a year.
