Mathematics

On the master programme you learn to master mathematical theories and to expand your knowledge of the core disciplines and methods of mathematics.

With the aid of mathematical methods and concepts, you will learn to use logic and abstract thinking to solve problems.

You will gain experience in working independently on scientific questions, and you will learn to express yourself precisely on professional matters, both in writing and in speech.

You will have ample opportunity to specialise and you can use the elective courses to specialise in the areas you wish to work with.

Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. In addition, there is often project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
