The Master’s in Mathematics at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) is a full-time graduate program, typically lasting about two years, that prepares students to engage in advanced mathematical study and research across both pure and applied mathematics. UESTC’s mathematical discipline is recognized as a key primary discipline in Sichuan Province with the authority to grant master’s and doctoral degrees, and it emphasizes strong foundations in mathematics, research capability, and interdisciplinary applications. The program covers a broad range of areas, such as basic mathematics, computational mathematics, probability theory and mathematical statistics, applied mathematics, and operations research and cybernetics, allowing students to develop deep theoretical understanding as well as applied problem-solving skills that are relevant to many scientific and engineering fields. Specific research orientations include numerical linear algebra and scientific computing, modeling for image and visual processing and high-performance numerical algorithms, dynamical systems and control, numerical solutions of differential and integral equations, partial differential equations and harmonic analysis, and probability theory with applications, reflecting both foundational theory and practical computational challenges. Graduates are expected to master essential research methods, understand current international developments, and be capable of conducting independent research in mathematics or interdisciplinary subjects, contributing to scientific advancements or working in quantitative and analytical roles in academia, industry, and technology sectors. International students are generally expected to demonstrate proficiency in at least one foreign language for academic reading and communication and usually participate in Chinese language and culture courses, often completing a basic Chinese language proficiency test (such as HSK 3) by graduation.
