• This programme is intended for applicants with a degree (usually a 4-year degree) in Statistics, Mathematics, Mathematical Physics, Applied Mathematics or Theoretical Physics, in a programme for which the course requirements are of comparable content and standard to that of the corresponding four-year UCD BSc Degree. An upper second class honours, or international equivalent is required. 

• Applicants who have been awarded an upper second class honours or higher in the Higher Diploma in Mathematical Sciences are eligible for the programme.

• Applicants whose first language is not English must also demonstrate English language proficiency of IELTS 6.5 (no band less than 6.0 in each element), or equivalent. 

• External or non- UCD applicants may be asked to provide further details on any Maths or Maths related modules taken

• Students meeting the programme’s academic entry requirements but not the  English language requirements, may enter the programme upon  successful completion of UCD’s Pre-Sessional or International Pre-Master’s Pathway programmes.
