How is Applied Mathematics structured?
Applied Mathematics is studied over 2 years, and each academic year is divided into 2 semesters. There are opportunities for exchange programmes and company projects during the course of study. You will also have the opportunity to delve into areas such as Computational Science, Statistics, and Data science.
In the semester overview below, you can see the structure of the education in tabular form. On small screens, the overview is best viewed in landscape format.
Choices and options
Already in the first year of the programme, you have the opportunity to shape your academic direction through elective constituent courses. This provides you with a solid foundation to delve into the specific subject areas that interest you the most.
In the 3rd semester, you have full flexibility, as there are no mandatory courses. This offers particularly good opportunities to go on exchange abroad or work closely with a company in a practice-oriented project.
Your final semester is dedicated to the thesis. Here, you can explore a topic you are passionate about – either interdisciplinary, in-depth research, or through collaboration with a company, where you contribute to solving real-world challenges.
A typical week
Below is an example of what a weekly timetable might look like for a student in the first semester of the MSc in Applied Mathematics. Class times and workload may vary from week to week, and as a rule, classes can be scheduled on weekdays between 8:15 AM and 6:00 PM.
