What is the difference between an MSc in Mathematics and an MSc in Mathematical Sciences?
The MSc in Mathematics concentrates just on Mathematics whereas Mathematical Sciences allows students to combine modules not only in Mathematics but in any of the disciplines offered by the School of Mathematics and Statistics: Actuarial Science and Statistics, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics/Mathematical Physics.
What is the difference between the HDip in Mathematical Studies and the HDip in Mathematical Sciences?
The HDip in Mathematical Studies may be of particular benefit to teachers or potential teachers who would like to include mathematics among the subjects that they are eligible to teach at Leaving Certificate Level. It brings the student to the level of a 3-year Honours undergraduate mathematics major. The HDip in Mathematical Science programme is aimed at graduates whose level of mathematical training is high, but below that of the BSc Degree Honours in Mathematics or Mathematical Physics, and who have demonstrated mathematical flair. It enables them to reach in one year a level of mathematical knowledge equivalent to that of BSc Honours graduates.
Who can take up HDip in Math Sciences?
The HDip in Math Sc is aimed at students who have had a significant exposure to mathematics in their own degrees, but not enough to enter an MSc/PhD programme in mathematics. It is an intensive 9-month programme that gives students the opportunity to complete core components of a 4-year BSc in Math/Math Sc. Students who acheive a 2.1 degree or higher are eligible to enter the MSc in Math/Math Sciences. It is ideally suited to a student with a 3-year degree in math/applied math but we have taken on students with a variety of backgrounds such as engineering, theoretical physics, mathematical economics etc who wish to push their careers in a mathematical direction.
