Overview
This Master’s degree programme offers a wide range of specialisations in either pure or applied mathematics and relies on scientific and professional contacts established by the Math Department. Various study paths are possible; however, the training tends to focus on the methodological issues in any field to avoid the obsolescence of the acquired skills. Master’s students will acquire in-depth knowledge of current methodologies in one or more specific areas of mathematics and prove the competence achieved through extensive thesis work, which accounts for almost a third of the overall effort.
Programme structure
The programme includes six course units in basic disciplines (Algebra, Geometry, Analysis, Probability, Mathematical Physics) and six elective course units, for a customised study plan aimed at increasing knowledge in the areas of interest.
As for the final exam, which accounts for about a third of the total credits, students are required to undertake a supervised medium-term project and to refine their study and work skills.
Career opportunities
Graduates have logical, analytical, and creative problem-solving skills and can work in the in research, dissemination, and application of mathematics or in areas requiring scientific methods of investigation and good understanding of mathematical tools, e.g. modelling and analysis of complex systems.
