Develop your logical, analytical and creative problem solving skills and further the growth of mathematical theory and application.

You will join an active research community and work with academics, peers and partner organisations who have demonstrated research success in a range of specialities, including:

Mathematics

• algebraic coding theory
• complex networks and epidemiology
• computational fluid dynamics
• dynamics and control theory and applications
• environmental and resource modelling
• general mathematical modelling
• graph, complexity and network theory
• information security
• integer programming and discrete mathematics
• mathematical biology
• numerical analysis
• optimisation theory - algorithms and applications

Statistics and operations research

• analysis: survival data, reliability, exploratory data, time series, sequential, decision
• data mining
• game theory and applications
• nonparametric statistical techniques
• optimisation and applications
• statistical quality control
• sport, bio, financial, multivariate statistics
• supply chain, and stochastic modelling
• queueing theory and applications

RMIT's researchers deliver high-impact and influential outcomes. Success is demonstrated through excellent performance in university rankings, such as being ranked as well above world standard in the Australian Research Council Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) 2015 round.

A masters degree will provide you with a foundation for further studies into a PhD and employment in senior leadership and management research-based positions in a variety of government, non-government and corporate organisations.
