The theory of computation arose from concerns about the foundations of mathematics, and was developed in the work of Gödel, Church, Turing, Kleene and others. The actual building of computing machinery later was strongly influenced by this theoretical work. Computer science quickly grew into an independent field of study, but the relations with mathematics are still strong. Connections range from the use of mathematics to model the foundations all the way to the use of computers to help solve mathematical problems with a discrete component.

This Master's specialisation has a unique theoretical and abstract focus that unites mathematics and computer science. The programme places itself squarely in this exciting interdisciplinary area of deep theoretical developments. For this reason, the mathematics courses in this curriculum concentrate on algebra, general topology, logic, number theory and combinatorics. The computer science courses concentrate on formal methods, type theory, category theory, coalgebra and theorem proving.

Waarom aan de Radboud University Nijmegen?

This specialisation has a unique theoretical and abstract focus that unites mathematics and computer science. You'll take classes with mathematics and computer science students and thus become a scientist that can combine knowledge of both these fields.
  • A majority of the courses are electives giving you the choice of how a strong an emphasis you want to place on mathematical or on computer science aspects.
  • You can take part in the Mastermath programme, meaning you can follow advanced mathematics courses pooled by all Dutch universities.
  • Teaching takes place in a stimulating, collegial setting with small groups. You'll get plenty of one-on-one time with your thesis advisor.
  • The job opportunities are excellent: some of our students get offered jobs before they've even graduated and almost all of our graduates have positions within six months after graduating.
  • Thanks to free electives students can branch out to other Computing Science or Mathematics domains at Radboud University and study with outstanding professors in those field.
