Program Description
The MSc degree can be undertaken either full-time or part-time (or, in some cases, externally). For a full-time candidate the degree normally requires two years of study but a candidate with a first-class honours degree or with previous research experience can apply to have the period reduced by up to one year.
An applicant whose academic qualifications are satisfactory, but whose background is not fully appropriate to the proposed research topic, may be required to attend formal lecture courses in relevant subjects.
The formal conditions for the award of the MSc degree are set out in the Sciences Faculty Handbook. You can also consult the UNSW virtual handbook for further details.

Admission Requirements
Applications for admission to UNSW as a graduate student are accepted all year round. Students applying for admission to coursework degrees should submit their forms by the middle of January for Session 1 commencements (in March) or the middle of June for Session 2.
Entry to the courses is on the recommendation of the Head of School or nominee (in practice the Director of Postgraduate Studies in mathematics); due consideration is given to all aspects of each applicant's undergraduate, graduate, and professional background. The UNSW virtual handbook has information about admission requirements for the different coursework programs.
