opbouwThe degree programmes in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics have a common first year. This gives you time to familiarize yourself with the two programmes, so that you can make an informed decision at the end of the first year. During the first year, you take course units that are relevant to both Mathematics and Applied Mathematics.
You also become familiar with abstract mathematics – through course units such as Analysis – and the various specializations within Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, through the course units Probability Theory, Computer-Aided Problem Solving, Linear Systems and First-year Project Mathematics or Applied Mathematics.
During the second and third years, as well as following common course units in Mathematics, you choose a specialization. The common course units include subjects such as Statistics, Group Theory, Partial Differential Equations, Complex Analysis, Functional Analysis and Numerical Mathematics. You complete your Bachelor's degree programme with a research project.
Talented and highly motivated students have the opportunity to receive a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics as well as a Bachelor's degree in Physics. This normally requires one additional year. More information can be found here: https://www.rug.nl/fse/education/double-degree-mathematics-physics
Credits per year: 60 ECTS; most courses are 5 ECTS.
