The study of mathematics and statistics has never been more important or more highly valued than it is today. Mathematics and statistics provide powerful tools to address some truly fundamental questions about existence, the universe and constructs, both natural and made-made. Postgraduate courses in the School of Mathematics and Statistics will place you in the centre of leading mathematical research, learning from some of the foremost mathematical minds of our time.
Explore our postgraduate courses and customise your learning to suit your interests.

Course outlines will be available in O-week of the term. To view outlines from other year and/or terms visit www.unsw.edu.au/course-outlines.
Students in postgraduate programs offered by the School of Mathematics and Statistics have reserved places in PG courses; if there is difficulty enrolling, contact the School pg.MathsStats@unsw.edu.au for support.
NB: Contact the PG email account listed above, for requests to overload in a term when enrolled in a School of Maths and Statistics postgraduate program. No overloading is permitted when enrolled in a Masters Thesis Project.
Please note: Honours students must seek advice from their Supervisor for "course selection" and receive approval by their Honours Coordinator, prior to enrolment. Go to Honours webpage for link to Course Selection form. For information on Third Year Project Courses click here.
NB: Please note DATA9001 is not permitted as an Honours course and in any Masters programs, outside postgraduate Data Science & Decisions program.
