• The IAM – in collaboration with the Faculty of Graduate Studies, Department of Mathematics and other UBC departments – supervises graduate Masters and Ph.D. programmes in the field of Applied Mathematics.
• We offer our graduate students flexible programme arrangements, assistance in their interactions with supervisors, access to office and computational facilities, a variety of scientific and social events, and a sense of a small but exclusive community.
• The IAM itself does not offer a standalone graduate programme or process graduate applications. Instead, our students register in a home department of their choice and graduate with a degree originating from that department. See this page for more information on how to apply. For help in the selection of a suitable research project or supervisor, please see the IAM research section.
• Our specific programme requirements are outlined in the IAM Graduate Student Handbook and include, for example, a course breadth for doctoral students. These requirements are followed by means of an agreement between the IAM and the student's supervisor and home department, and we often allow some flexibility to accommodate any special needs that may arise in the course of the student's programme.
