If you are less keen on a taught MSc degree but are interested in gaining a degree by Research, the Mathematics Department offers the opportunity to obtain an MSc by research. This is a one year degree (if taken at full-time), unfortunately for which we are usually not able to provide funding. It involves writing a Master's thesis under the supervision of a current member of academic staff on a topic to be agreed between the supervisor and the student. Submission is required no more than three months after the end of registration, although submission before the end of registration is encouraged where possible. Extensions can be arranged under special circumstances.
The MSc by research is assessed wholly on the basis of the thesis, written under the guidance of a supervisor and monitored by two Thesis Advisory Panel meetings, usually to be held in November and March (for October starts). The thesis must contain a substantial piece of research which includes some original work.This could include new ideas, or original commentary on (or amplification of) material which is currently considered to be at the forefront of mathematical knowledge.
MSc by research students have access to any of the transferable skills training programmes available to MPhil and PhD students (see the research student handbook) and will be expected to take part in the induction week (usually the first week of October).

Assessment
The thesis is to be examined by one internal examiner (who should not be the supervisor) and one external examiner, the appointment of which must follow the usual practice for MPhil and PhD examiners. The candidate will be required to give an internal seminar, to be attended by the internal examiner. This is part of the process of verifying that the thesis is the candidate's own work. A viva will not usually be required, but examiners may insist on one at their discretion.
Each examiner produces an independent report and makes a recommendation either for the award (perhaps subject to minor corrections) or against the award. Where minor corrections have been recommended these must be made before the degree can be awarded and it is the duty of the internal examiner to notify the student of any corrections necessary and verify that they have been made. Where a thesis has been referred for resubmission the notification of the revisions is sent by the Graduate Schools Office upon notification by the department.
