Applied Mathematics

As an applied mathematician, you link the beauty and elegance of mathematical descriptions and models to a thorough understanding of the principles of physics and engineering.

Mathematics is one of the oldest branches of science. Applied Mathematics, or – as we like to call it – Engineering Mathematics, distinguishes itself from pure mathematics in that it derives inspiration for its own development from related fields such as physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, economics and computer science. As a matter of fact, mathematics – and certainly applied mathematics – has largely developed in response to the need to formulate and solve questions in those fields. In short, it is the language of scientific communication par excellence.

A Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics will open a great many doors in your future career. Regardless of whether you are eventually employed by a private company, a research institute or a university, a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics represents a crucial step in your development, making you a highly prized professional.

Under the auspices of different specialization of this programme, you will work closely with disciplines such as physics, engineering, economics and computer science. You will be a member of a research group with a strong international reputation.
