Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
Candidates are expected to have a good honours undergraduate degree in a mathematics-based subject (in a widely understood sense, including certain degrees in science). If your undergraduate degree is in business, finance or economics with sufficiently strong mathematics background (equivalent to at least two years of university level mathematics courses), then we encourage you to apply also. We welcome students with recent degrees as well as those with work experience in related disciplines and professions.
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
