Program overview
An advanced degree in the mathematical sciences allows you to tackle complex problems in an array of fast-evolving fields. Our Department offers you a choice of supervisor from among over thirty faculty members with strong research profiles in a broad range of areas of mathematics and statistics. Concordia’s association with ALGANT, the ISM, the CRM, and MITACS opens the door to advanced courses at other Quebec universities, and to internships and collaborative projects in Canada and abroad. You will broaden your research network through seminars and presentations by leading researchers, and interaction with a diverse group of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. By the end of the program, you will be ready to apply mathematical expertise to your chosen field of interest.
