The MPhil Program in Mathematics is designed with major focus on preparing students with advanced knowledge of Mathematics applicable to other sciences and technologies. A Graduate having MPhil degree in Mathematics from CUST is supposed to have the realization that Mathematics is a useful tool rather than an abstract subject. After the two semesters of course work, students will have the opportunity to choose a research area from a variety of available options.
The possible research areas are:
- Wave Mechanics
- Numerical solutions of differential equations arising from any area of Mathematics and other sciences
- Eigenvalue Problems
- Computational Algebra
- Data Security and Cryptography.
- Interested students may also work in Control Systems, Image Processing and Algorithms in collaboration with the faculty members of the departments of the university.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
- A minimum of 16 years of education leading to BS/ MSc degree in Mathematics or equivalent.
- Minimum 2.00/4.00 CGPA or 50% marks
- Admission Test / HEC Approved Test
