The Mathematical Sciences Foundation(MSF), located on the
premises of St. Stephen’s College, offers one-year postgraduate
programmes in Maths, Mathematical Finance and Computational
Finance in association with the Universtiy of Houston(UH). The
qualifications enable candidate to receive Fellowship for a
graduate programme leading to a doctoral degree at UH. |
According to an MSF spokesman, the Department of Mathematics
at UH grants students full credit and exempts one year of their
graduate studies programme. “Students who have passed
the diploma exam with a certain prescribed number of credits
at MSF, are assured of admission as well as Fellowship for the
graduates studies programme at the University of Houston.” |
The Texas-based, public university boasts of one of
the most outstanding departments of Mathematics and some
of the most distinguished faculty.
Talking about the advantage of the UH graduate programme,
the official said, “Students have in Indian universities.”
Though MSF charges Rs.70,000 for each of the self-financing programmes, once students join UH, they receive about US $ 20,000 as a Fellowship amount each year. In addition, students are not charged any tuition fees, says the MSF spokesman. After completing their doctoral studies, candidate can find jobs in IT companies, banks, stock exchange like the NYSE, and airlines.
