Programme Description

Industrial and Applied Mathematics plays an essential role in the development of innovative technologies. This is a result of the fact that mathematical models, advanced simulations and (computer) calculations are increasingly being used in new technological developments.

The Master specializations of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (IAM) offer an excellent start for your contribution to society's technological needs, both today and tomorrow.

The MSc-program in Industrial and Applied Mathematics (IAM) aims to train students to become professional applied mathematicians who are able to * do research in a specific field of applied mathematics, depending on the specialization chosen,
* apply and develop mathematical methods and computational skills to solve industrial and engineering problems,
* communicate on an academic level in an industrial, social and multi-disciplinary environment.

You can specialize in three fields in the Master´s degree programme in Industrial and Applied Mathematics. The Computational Science and Engineering specialization focuses primarily on technology, Discrete Mathematics and Applications involves digital communication, while the Statistics, Probability, and Operations Research specialization concentrates mainly on business processes. For more detailed information, see `Graduation options´.

The Master's degree program Industrial and Applied Mathematics lasts two years. Each year consists of 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). These credit points are subdivided as follows:

first year

* Compulsory courses 75%
* Electives 25%

second year

* Internship 25%
* Final project 75%

The Master of Science program of Industrial and Applied Mathematics offers three Master´s specializations:

* Computational Science and Engineering
* Discrete Mathematics and Applications
* Statistics, Probability, and Operations Research

The program leads to a Master of Science degree in Industrial and Applied Mathematics as well as in the chosen specialization.

Internship Students can follow internships in external research institutes or in companies, working on subjects that may differ from their selected specializations, although still relevant to them. The internships last for approximately three months. Depending on your Bachelor´s degree, you can replace your internship by one of the department´s mathematical modeling projects.

Your final project takes place in a company, at a government agency or within the TU/e during the last nine months of the Master´s program.

Requirements

You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country. Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information

There are a number of general requirements for admission to Master´s degree programs:

* You must have a relevant Bachelor´s degree (or equivalent), based on a program of sufficient academic level and quality to enable you to complete the TU/e Master´s degree program to which you wish to be admitted.
* You must be able to demonstrate sufficient command of the language in which the program is taught.
* To prove sufficient command of the English language you should submit an Academic IELTS or TOEFL test. For the scores or exemptions, you can contact the admissions office (admissions@remove-this.tue.nl).

In addition to the general requirements of TU/e, applicants for the Industrial and Applied Mathematics (IAM) master program should also satisfy the following conditions specific to the program:

* The applicant should hold at least a B.Sc. degree (or equivalent) of a mathematical signature based on a program of academic level and quality and containing sufficient engineering and technical aspects.
* The applicant should have a basic mathematical knowledge of the concepts and the computational applicability of the two standard fields in mathematics: Mathematical Analysis and Algebra.
* The applicant must have sufficient knowledge and operational skills in the field of applied mathematics (scientific computing, optimization, statistics and stochastics), especially with respect to the subjects Algebra, Functional Analysis, Numerical Analysis, Numerical Linear Algebra, Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, Mathematical Statistics, Basic Complex Analysis, Stochastic Processes and Mechanics.
* The applicant must have sufficient programming and ICT skills to implement general mathematical methods in a (technical) application field of mathematics.
* The applicant must have a basic knowledge and mathematical modeling skills to apply mathematical methods in at least one of the (technical) application fields of mathematics.
