Graduate Studies in the Mathematical Sciences

Fundamental advances in mathematics are increasingly being applied to solve major problems in the biological and physical sciences, information technology and finance. For high level research training come to the Mathematical Sciences Institute (MSI) at The Australian National University.

The ANU was rated Australia's top research University by Asiaweek in June 2000, and was included in an international peer group with Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, MIT and the Sorbonne in the London Times Higher Education Supplement.

The Mathematical Sciences Institute has exceptionally strong academic programs in both theoretical mathematics and contemporary applications. Moreover, the MSI uniquely combines the Faculties and the Institute components of the ANU, providing the opportunity to acquire teaching experience as a PhD student as well as enjoying the ANU's world-renowned research environment.

If you would like a first-hand look at the MSI, we encourage you to come visit us with financial support from our Visiting Scholar Scheme.

Mathematical Sciences graduate degrees

The ANU offers a number of graduate degrees relevant to the Mathematical Sciences Institute:

Graduate Courses

The following graduate courses are offered subject to staff availability and student demand. These courses are available to all our graduate students.

Information on these courses, their availability, the choice of special topics and their timetabling is provided at a meeting held at 10am on the first Monday of each semester in room JD G35

It is strongly recommended that all graduate students consult the Department in the selection of their courses. The graduate course convenor is Dr John Urbas.
