Programme Aims:
The Master of Mathematics programme aims to prepare candidates for careers at the forefront of teaching, research and development in Mathematical Sciences, or for careers in other professions in which they can apply their research training and knowledge. The programme seeks to cultivate curiosity, powers of observation, depth of critical thinking and intellectual development that mathematicians exploit to make new discoveries as well as enhance their creativity and problem solving skills. UTAR accomplishes these goals through the strengths of its academic staff, its emphasis in research endeavours, suitable infrastructure and facilities, and industry input into the content of its programme. The programme has a range of possible research areas for candidates to pursue.
