Course Overview

The Research activity in Mathematics at University of Galway covers a broad range of topics spanning Algebra, Analysis, Geometry and Topology. There is a particular strength in Computational Algebra, which has led to the establishment of de Brún Centre, with a mission is to support research in broad areas of algebra and its applications.

The various research groups within the discipline of Mathematics host a wide range of workshops, seminars and graduate courses, resulting in a unique and thriving graduate research programme.

Recent graduates are now working as lecturers and postdoctoral researcher at third-level institutes. Others are working in industry, including banking and finance, and in   the Meteorological Service.

Programmes Available

MSc (Mathematics), full-time
MSc (Mathematics), part-time

Applications are made online via the University of Galway Postgraduate Applications System.

What Our Students Say

Pádraig

Pádraig Ó Catháin |   PhD Student

I love being a PhD student in Maths. It's given me the skills to analyse complex problems and uncover unexpected links between different topics. I also know that I am being prepared for either a career in academia or industry.
