Programme Description

Increasingly, developers make use of mathematical models, advanced simulations, and sophisticated (computer) computations. With this program you can for example develop new and innovative technologies

You can specialize in three fields in the Masters degree program in Industrial and Applied Mathematics. The Computational Science and Engineering track focuses primarily on technology, Discrete Mathematics and Applications involves the mathematics of our digital world, while the Statistics, Probability, and Operations Research track concentrates mainly on business processes. As a graduate of the Masters program in Industrial and Applied Mathematics, you will have gained a thorough knowledge of mathematical modeling. You will also have developed skills to tackle technological and industrial problems. For example, the analysis of large databases in communication and information technology, and the improvement of weather forecasts. Or models as used in telecommunications and physics, queuing theory or optimization. There is a great demand for graduates of this Masters program, not only in the high-tech industry but also in other industrial fields and at (semi-)governmental agencies. You will be able to find employment as a researcher, consultant or developer.

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.

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.

Requirements

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.
