Master in Mathematics
OBJECTIVES
The Master in Mathematics is a flexible high-standard curriculum that is close to the real needs of the students and the job market. Devoted to excellence, it offers a great variety of advanced courses enabling you to choose from four career-driven options.
- First year: Essential modern mathematical skills. Specialization via optional activities.
- Second year: Exclusively specialized courses matching the individual student’s professional project within the following directions:
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Prove mastery of the relevant mathematical methods, further develop them and adapt them to new contexts.
- Demonstrate a broad understanding of several areas of advanced mathematics and of their interrelations.
- Analyse complex problems of other fields of science and technology, plan strategies for their resolution, and apply notions and methods of (pure and applied) mathematics to solve them.
- Apply a wide repertoire of probabilistic concepts, computational science techniques and engineering-oriented methodologies of modern financial and industrial mathematics to real-life problems, and formulate suitable solutions.
- Approach other related areas of knowledge and recognize interconnections.
- Communicate mathematical information accurately and efficiently both to younger students or the public at large, as well as to an expert audience.
- Cooperate effectively in a team and work independently.
- Function professionally and give proof of open-mindedness, dynamism, competence, sense of responsibility, and willingness to take leadership if needed.
- Manage risk appropriately and handle failure in a constructive manner.
- Hone continuously their own personal and professional qualities, in particular via life-long and self-directed learning.
