Offered by Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, MA/MS in Mathematics is a master's degree in Mathematics programme. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 19,382 per year (CAD 11,303 per year for local students).
The Master of Science in Mathematics at Dalhousie University is a thesis-based graduate program offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the Faculty of Science, delivered in person at the Halifax campus, and can be taken full-time or part-time, with a standard length of two years or longer. Students pursue independent research guided by a faculty supervisor, working toward a written thesis in an area drawn from the department's research strengths, which span algebra, approximation theory, category theory, convex geometry, differential equations, functional analysis, graph theory, number theory, quantum computing, operator theory, general relativity theory, stochastic modelling, and topology. Alongside a specific research project, students gain experience by taking part in ongoing faculty research projects rather than following a purely coursework path. The program suits students with an undergraduate background in mathematics or a closely related quantitative field who want focused, supervised research experience before moving into a specialized career or further doctoral study. Graduates take on roles in teaching, actuarial science, computer engineering or analysis, operations research, biomathematics, cryptography, and finance, as well as management positions that draw on advanced quantitative training.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: The program page sets no admission figures of its own and defers applicants to the Faculty of Graduate Studies' minimum requirements together with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics for any program-specific criteria. The Faculty of Graduate Studies requires a four-year bachelor's degree from a university of recognized standing with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (B average) in the last 60 credit hours of study; international applicants must separately meet Dalhousie's English-language proficiency requirement, though neither page publishes specific test scores for this program. Applicants seeking program-specific detail are directed to contact the department's graduate administrator. No start date or application deadline is stated on either page.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Dalhousie's live Dates and Deadlines page still shows the September 2026 entry cycle as of mid-September 2026, not the 2027 cycle. For that cycle, Bachelor of Science (Nursing), Bachelor of Health Sciences, Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) and Bachelor of Social Work close February 15, 2026; the Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies (Architecture) closes March 1, 2026; and the Health Sciences post-diploma option closes June 15, 2026. All other undergraduate programmes are considered on a rolling, space-available basis for both domestic and international applicants, with no separate international closing date published; May 15, 2026 is only the deposit and English-proficiency deadline, not an application deadline. Dalhousie has not yet published September 2027 entry dates. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
