Master of Science in Mathematics
The Master of Science (MSc) in Mathematics is a 30-credit-hour graduate program offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences, College of Science, United Arab Emirates University. The program provides advanced training in pure and applied mathematics, emphasizing rigorous theoretical foundations, analytical reasoning, mathematical modeling, and scholarly inquiry.
The revised program introduces a dual-track structure consisting of a Thesis Track and a Non-Thesis Track. The Thesis Track is designed for students pursuing research-intensive careers and doctoral studies, requiring original research and a formal thesis defense. The Non-Thesis Track is intended for working professionals and students seeking advanced mathematical depth without a research thesis requirement. It culminates in a structured Capstone Project that integrates advanced coursework knowledge into a comprehensive academic analysis.
Both tracks maintain identical academic standards in core coursework and preserve the overall 30-credit-hour requirement, while offering differentiated culminating experiences aligned with students’ academic and professional goals.
Program Objectives
- To provide students with a comprehensive advanced knowledge of the main areas of mathematics;
- To provide students with the necessary background for further studies in Mathematics, and enhance their research capabilities;
- To produce graduates with high level of analytic and numerical skills;
- To train students to communicate effectively both orally and in writing;
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Discuss in depth concepts, techniques, and results related to active research in Mathematics.
- Solve mathematical problems using theoretical tools and/or modeling.
- Develop mathematical proofs completely and rigorously.
- Produce a comprehensive independent work, including a literature review.
- Contribute actively to research projects in mathematics, using an adequate methodology.
- Communicate effectively mathematical results to a specialized audience.
- Demonstrate awareness of ethical issues related to science, research, and work.
