Program overview
Master of Science - Mathematics (Thesis) at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. A two year research master degree in mathematics, combining advanced coursework in pure or applied mathematics with an original supervised thesis.
Mathematics research master degrees are supervisor led and small by design, which means genuine one to one attention rather than a place in a large cohort. At two years the programme clears the length threshold that governs spousal open work permit eligibility, and the tuition is among the lowest here.
Degrees carry an exemption from the field of study requirement, and Master of Science - Mathematics (Thesis) is one, so that verification step does not arise. At the length recorded here, Master of Science - Mathematics (Thesis) sits in the category that remains eligible for a spousal open work permit, which married applicants should confirm before planning family finances. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Master of Science - Mathematics (Thesis) in writing before you pay a deposit.
