Program overview
Master of Science - Mathematics (Major Research Paper) at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. A one year master degree in mathematics delivering advanced coursework in pure or applied mathematics, completed with a major research paper rather than a full thesis.
This is the fastest and one of the cheapest routes to a Canadian science master degree in this catalogue. The compression is real, so applicants should arrive mathematically prepared, and the twelve month length means the programme falls outside the spousal work permit category.
As a degree level award, Master of Science - Mathematics (Major Research Paper) sits outside the field of study rules, which removes the CIP check that non degree applicants must complete. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Master of Science - Mathematics (Major Research Paper) with a partner should plan on a single income.
