Department of Mathematics G RADUATE PROGRAMME BY RESEARCH Overview Students enrolled in the Graduate Programme will pursue a course of study and research leading to a Master of Science degree (M.Sc.) or a Ph.D. degree. Admission is on a competitive basis and preference is given to applicants who intend to pursue a Ph.D. degree. Applicants to the programme may apply for NUS Research Scholarship, which starts at 1500 Singapore dollars per month. Candidates admitted to the Graduate Programme will be supervised by faculty members, whose research interests cover most core areas of mathematical sciences. They will also have ample opportunities to interact with the numerous visiting mathematicians from overseas institutions. Other opportunities include additional award for outstanding performance and financial support for overseas conference participation (applicable to Ph.D. students and on a competitive basis). Admission Applicants must have at least a four year Honours degree or its equivalent from a reputable university. Evaluation criteria include academic records and references, and undergraduate research experiences. TOEFL/IELTS is required of foreign applicants whose medium of instruction is not English. GRE is required of all foreign and local applicants. However we do consider waivers for students with outstanding records. Application & Intake There are two intakes in every academic year, one in August and the other in January. Application deadlines are 15 December (respectively 15 May) for the August (respectively January) intake in the following year. Application package may be downloaded at the Department’s website listed below or by requesting via For more information, please visit Department of Mathematics
