The Applied Mathematics master's specialisation focuses on both computational and fundamental aspects of analysis and probability. The specialisation offers courses dealing with diverse topics such as dynamical systems, interacting particle systems, network theory, stochastic differential equations, time series, asymptotic statistics and population genetics. Much of the material is driven by applications in physics and especially the life sciences. The analysis component of this specialisation focuses on topics such as C *-algebras, percolation, and stochastic dynamics.

The research specialisation is particularly interesting for you, if you want to become thoroughly acquainted with mathematics as it is applied in various aspects of life. More in general, Applied Mathematics is an excellent choice if you have the aspiration to pursue a PhD degree. The master's specialisation in Applied Mathematics is an ideal basis for becoming a mathematical researcher within an (international) industrial environment.

objectives

The research specialisation offers you the opportunity to spend two full years on training in applied mathematics to become an independent scientist with a strong theoretical basis.
You can take advanced courses on: differential equations, dynamical systems, analysis of industrial problems, measure and integration theory, probability theory, statistics, functional analysis, numerical analysis, operations research. Some courses from the master's programme Statistical Science, in particular Statistical Learning, may be suited for a programme oriented towards statistics. As part of the free choice courses, you can also choose the Science Based Business Fundamentals course from the SBB specialisation.

It is compulsory that at least 30 EC be obtained from courses from the national Master programme in mathematics (Mastermath).
