MPhil in Mathematics
Finished a Bachelor of Science Honours in Mathematics from Canada and have recently been supported by a supervisor in Australia to do an MPhil in mathematics. I’m wondering if there are any people here who did an MPhil in math and what your experience was. Did you enjoy it? Were you able to take/audit courses while do research? Were you able to get funded? Where are you now in your career and if you moved to industry how challenging was this in terms of how employers look at an MPhil?
I’m trying to weigh out whether this is a worth while path for me to take. I love mathematics research and I know I would enjoy the challenge and the work, what I’m sort of concerned about to be honest is how this might affect me in the future for applying to jobs. And MPhil is not common in Canada at all so I’m hoping for some insight into how this degree is looked upon and how it may help or hinder things.
Thanks everyone!
