Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences
Unlock the power of mathematical discovery in our program, where versatile mathematical sciences drive solutions in diverse fields, from physics to finance.
The Department of Mathematics offers a graduate program that leads to the degree of Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences. The (MMS) program is intended for students who are interested in interdisciplinary program with a major emphasis in mathematics and a minor emphasis in a related subject outside mathematics. The objective of the MMS program is to bridge the gap between mathematics as a discipline and other subjects outside mathematics. The Program features a non-thesis option. The non-thesis option requires the completion of a project, and require a minimum course work and passing a comprehensive examination.
Vision
To be recognized as one of the top mathematics department in the region for offering strong M.Sc. in Mathematical Sciences, and to be valued internationally as a significant contributor to the continuing graduate education in these fields.
Mission
To train students to apply and disseminate mathematical knowledge and understanding.
Educational Objectives
- To provide students with a comprehensive mathematical education at Kuwait University, so that they can either continue to pursue a Ph.D program at top institutions around the world or to pursue Master and Ph. D programs abroad.
- To prepare students to compete successfully for employment and higher positions in government, industry, and non-profit organizations.
- To attract students with solid background in mathematics and to engage them in multidisciplinary research.
Student Learning Outcomes
- To solve problems in the advanced areas of mathematics including (a) differential equations, (b) numerical analysis, (c) algebra, and (d) real analysis.
- To identify, formulate, and solve mathematical science problems by applying advanced mathematics.
- To communicate mathematical ideas with clarity and coherence, both written and verbally.
- To be able to engage in scientific research and communicate effectively with scientists and engineers.
