The master´s programme leads to the degree Master of Science in Mathematics. It is a two year programme
(120 ECTS credits).
The programme is aimed at students with an interest in mathematics who intend to qualify for research, development or teaching and seek employment where education in mathematics is required or considered an advantage.
Within the Master's Programme in Mathematics, you can choose among the following specialisations, mirroring the four main research groups within pure Mathematics:
Please see each specialization for more details.
A first degree (bachelor´s degree) of three or four years´ duration from an approved institution of higher education, as well as proficiency in the English language.
It is important to document the content and learning outcomes of the central mathematics subjects, either with attached course descriptions or with links to web pages where course descriptions can be found.
For more information regarding admission look at the different specializations, as the admission requirement is different for each specialization.
For international self-financing applicants
Each year the Master's Degree Programme in Mathematics receives more applications from international students than there are places available.
The average grade of the Bachelor's degree must be at least 2nd class upper division/B or the equivalent.
