The candidate must complete a dissertation in one of the fields of Mathematics in which research is actively being done in the Department.

The programme consists of 180 credits all allocated to the dissertation. If deemed necessary and depending on the candidate’s academic background and the scope of the study, additional requirements will be set. These additional requirements are non-credit bearing and will be assessed. The composition of the additional requirements is to be decided in consultation with the supervisor and Head of Department or nominated representative. The successful completion of any additional requirements is mandatory and forms part of the degree requirements.

Full details of the compilation of the curriculum, research fields and names of possible superviors are available in the departmental postgraduate brochure at: http://www.up.ac.za/maths/postgrad

The MSc degree is conferred on the grounds of a dissertation and such additional postgraduate coursework as may be prescribed.
