Program Overview
Toronto Metropolitan is one of the universities in Ontario to offer graduate-level programs with an explicit focus on applied mathematics. Both programs include a strong theoretical base, upon which students build hands-on practice in quantitative and analytical skills.
Our department has a low student-to-faculty ratio and a culture of close mentorship. Students have a record of producing research papers, participating in professional conferences, and continuing onto careers in academia and industries such as finance, technology, data science, and health/medical research.
MSc Program
Our Applied Mathematics program leads to a Master of Science degree. Students choose from one of two options:
Thesis Option:
- Length: Six terms (2 years)
- Format: Full time
- Degree Requirements: Five courses, graduate seminar and thesis
Major Research Paper Option:
- Length: Four terms (16 months)
- Format: Full time
- Degree Requirements: Seven courses, graduate seminar and major research paper
PhD Program
Our doctoral program leads to a PhD in Mathematical Modelling and Methods. It combines various mathematical modelling aspects of three main areas: biomathematics, discrete mathematics and financial mathematics.
- Length: 12 terms (4 years)
- Format: Full time
- Degree Requirements: Three electives, graduate seminar, candidacy exam, dissertation and defence
Research Areas
Both the MSc and PhD programs are grounded in five main research areas:
- Biomathematics & Fluids
- Discrete Mathematics & Complex Networks
- Financial Mathematics
- Mathematical Pedagogy
- Computational Statistics
