Mathematics, Master´s Programme

The purpose of the Master`s programme in Mathematics is to give you an advanced theoretical knowledge of mathematics, together with practical skills to apply this knowledge both to mathematical problems and in applications of mathematics. You are required to take a minimum of 45 ECTS credits of advanced courses in mathematics or numerical analysis. The programme involves a Master`s thesis of 30 ECTS credits, running in parallel with courses over the final two semesters. The remaining credits can be chosen freely, giving a wide range of possible specialisations within pure or applied mathematics or numerical analysis.

Career prospects

After graduating from this programme you are qualified to enter a PhD programme in mathematics. You will also have sufficient skills in applying mathematics to seek employment in industry, with government agencies and in other organisations working with mathematical problems.
