Master in Department of Mathematics

National Taiwan Normal University's Department of Mathematics, located in northern Taiwan, offers a master's program conducted in English. At the graduate level, mathematics study moves beyond foundational coursework into more specialized areas such as algebra, analysis, topology, differential geometry, probability theory, mathematical statistics, and numerical or computational methods, depending on a student's chosen focus. A master's program typically combines advanced coursework with a research component, such as a thesis, in which students work closely with faculty to investigate a specific mathematical problem, review the relevant literature, and present original findings or a synthesis of existing results. This stage of study is intended to deepen technical mastery of mathematical theory while developing the independent research and writing skills needed for further academic work or specialized professional roles. Students entering a master's program in mathematics generally hold an undergraduate degree in mathematics or a closely related quantitative field. Career paths for graduates include data science and analytics, quantitative finance, actuarial work, software and algorithm development, operations research, and teaching, as well as continued study toward a doctoral degree for those interested in academic research. Because mathematics underlies statistics, computer science, engineering, and economics, graduate training in the discipline is often applied across multiple industries rather than a single sector. The program's English-language instruction is designed to support international graduate students pursuing mathematics study in Taiwan alongside domestic peers.
