Head of School's Welcome
Welcome to UCD School of Mathematical Sciences. The School is the largest of its kind in Ireland. The School is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary department which engages in research and teaching in three disciplines:
We offer more degrees in the Mathematical Sciences than anyone else in Ireland:
The following undergraduate degrees are available through the BSc Programme at UCD (CAO Code DN200MPG): BSc Mathematics, BSc Statistics, BSc Applied and Computational Mathematics, BSc Mathematical Science, BSc Theoretical Physics.
The School runs the BAFS degree(CAO Code DN230). This degree is fully accredited by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, with students having the potential to gain nine exemptions from the professional actuarial examinations.
Students can also study for a BA degree (CAO Code DN500) in Mathematics and Statistics.
Masters Degrees available in the School include: MSc Actuarial Science, MSc Mathematics, MSc Mathematical Science, MSc Meteorology, MSc Simulation Science, MA Statistics and MSc Statistics.
We also provide PhD degrees in Mathematics, Statistics and Applied and Computational Mathematics.
In addition we offer the following Higher Diplomas and Graduate Diplomas which allow students with Bachelors degrees in cognate disciplines the opportunity to achieve a recognised qualification in the mathematical sciences: HDip Mathematical Science, HDip Statistics, HDip Mathematical Studies and Graduate Diploma Actuarial Science.
All of our academic staff are engaged in active research with a strong record of publications in international journals. Our staff have been very successful in obtaining funding from national and international agencies and from industry.
Graduates from our degree programmes have skills that are rare and in high demand. Even in the current economic climate all of our recent graduates are either in employment or further study. Our graduates do not necessarily all continue to become mathematicians or statisticians, instead they have a wide variety of career opportunities.
Thank you for your interest in our School.
