    Can you do a Masters or PhD in Maths with an MSISS or Engineering Degree??

    And you know the way ya typically have to be working 3-5 years to do a post-grad, if ya have a scholarship can you "jump straight in"?

    Noone else fielded this...

    What? You don't have to work 3-5 years to do a postgrad, where did you get this information from? Plenty of people I know go straight from UG to PG. If you're doing something in another department (but which you can demonstrate your knowledge already) then it'll simply be a case of you pimping yourself up the appropriate level.

    If you're talking about Schols (in relation to 'scholarship') then you can of course get a postgrad immediately if one is offered. But you don't need Schols in order to be accepted for a postgrad, though it's obviously a benefit.

    You can do a masters and potentially a PhD in anything once you have a degree. Each department/school/moonbase will accept you based on your academic history as well as other areas, most of which I know nothing about.

    Of course you can. If you can show your ability to do the masters/PhD and sell yourself enough on the application, then you can apply for it. However the jump in difficulty/approach) may be difficult (pure maths is quite different from engineering maths), but as long as you are ready for hard work I'm sure its doable.

    3-5 years is generally what it takes to complete a postgrad to PhD, not what it takes before you can begin.
