Master’s programme
The most common way to finish your degree in Mathematics is a master and thus the title of MSc.
The scientific aspect of the master’s programme is most evident in the final thesis project which takes 6 months. Work on this project takes place in close contact with a supervisor and often in connection with the supervisor’s own research. It should be made clear, however, that the master’s degree is not a research degree. To achieve a research degree, you must complete a PhD.
Programme outline
PhD programme
If your desire and abilities suffice, you can choose to apply for a research degree. This can be either as a 3-year programme following the master’s programme or as a 4-year programme beginning a year after the bachelor programme. The research programme leads to a PhD in science.
