Admission Requirements
-
Candidates must satisfy the general requirements for admission to
the Faculty of Graduate Studies. For details on admission, fees, and
general information see the Graduate
Calendar. Candidates will normally be expected to hold a degree
recognized by Dalhousie University at the equivalent of a Bachelor's
degree with Honours in one of its own faculties.
GRE Aptitude and Advanced Mathematics scores are recommended for all applicants for graduate studies whose undergraduate work has been completed outside of Canada, and TOEFL scores are required for applicants whose native language is not English. Valid score reports must be received directly from the Educational Testing Service. To ensure consideration for scholarship funds, application should be made early.
Mathematics
The mathematics division offers
programs leading to the degrees of MSc and PhD in the following areas: algebra, approximation theory,
category theory, convex geometry, differential equations, functional analysis, graph theory,
number theory, numerical analysis, operator theory, optimization, general relativity theory,
stochastic modelling, topology.
Masters
- At least three full-credit classes, not including seminar classes, at the graduate level to be chosen in consultation with a department adviser. In addition, students whose preparation in a particular area of mathematics is deficient will be required to complete appropriate classes which will be designated by the adviser.
- Attendance and participation in seminars.
- A satisfactory thesis.
- Students are required to give an oral presentation of their thesis and at that time to answer questions about the thesis. This presentation will be made after the thesis is in the hands of the student's committee and will be taken into account when the committee makes its decision.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
- At least one full-credit class during each of the first two years of the programme.
- comprehensive examinations which must be taken for the first time within 12 months and successfully completed within 16 months of registration in the programme.
- Attendance and participation in an appropriate seminar.

Statistics
The statistics division offers both the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. Faculty research interests include bioinformatics,
data analysis, machine learning, molecular evolution, multivariate analysis, linear and nonlinear regression, robust statistics, time series analysis, statistical inference,
and information theory. Faculty are also engaged in a number of applied projects, which currently include applications to chemistry, medicine, oceanography, physiology and
population genetics. Graduate students take part in one or more applied projects through their participation in the activities of the statistical consulting service.
