READY FOR AN EXCITING ACADEMIC ADVENTURE? AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE, WE INVITE YOU TO BLEND THE WORLDS OF TECHNICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS.
If you have an affinity for both Technical Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, you can study both at the same time at the University of Twente. But keep in mind, Applied Mathematics might be different from the regular mathematics you learned in high school.
Are you looking for that extra challenge and are you ready to deepen your knowledge of both Technical Computer Science and Applied Mathematics? Then a double Bachelor’s programme is an option. This involves completing courses from two separate Bachelor's programmes at the same time.
A demanding double programme
During each quarter, you take more courses than single-programme students do, gaining an extra 50 EC in three years. After successfully completing the Technical Computer Science and Applied Mathematics double degree, you will receive two Bachelor’s diplomas from the University of Twente.
To qualify for this double programme, it is essential that you have achieved above-average results in high school. One of the considerations is that you have achieved strong results in mathematics.
What's in it for you?
Opting for a double Bachelor’s degree programme, first and foremost brings you an extra challenge. Additionally, the mathematical background from the bachelor's in Applied Mathematics might help you during your Technical Computer Science bachelor's degree. After completing the double bachelor's degree, you can choose from all the master's programmes available in both Technical Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. By establishing this broad foundation, you also open up a wider spectrum of career opportunities later on.
What does the double programme look like?
The double programme consists of half Technical Computer Science and half Applied Mathematics components. This means that each quarter, you'll be taking both Technical Computer Science and Applied Mathematics courses. Quarter 7 is entirely focused on Applied Mathematics, and module 11 is entirely focused on Technical Computer Science. In the first year of study, if desired, you can easily switch to Technical Computer Science or Applied Mathematics.
At the end of this three-year double programme, you will undertake one Bachelor's assignment, known as the graduation project. Through this, you demonstrate proficiency in both Technical Computer Science and Applied Mathematics.
Interested?
If you are interested in the double degree, we invite you to Judith Timmer, Programme coordinator BSc Applied Mathematics, so that we can arrange an interview. That way, we can explore together whether you have the talent, ambition, motivation and independence that is necessary to see this demanding programme through.
