Location of Radboud University Nijmegen
Logical thinking, sharp analysis and intensely pure reasoning are the characteristics of the true mathematician. Mathematics can ensure more efficient logistics, better computer information systems and a deeper understanding of natural phenomena. Our Master´s programme in Mathematics offers you a thorough, theoretical education while maintaining a clear perspective on concrete applications. This study is closely related to the research being carried out in the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics (IMAPP) and interdisciplinary approach. This has resulted in a variety of specializations:
- Mathematical Physics: mathematics applied to physics
- Stochastics, in particular mathematics applied to neuroscience; a cooperation between the IMAPP and the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour
- Mathematical Foundation of Computer Science: mathematics applied to information science; involving cooperation between IMAPP and the Institute for Computing and Information Science (ICIS).
At the beginning of your study you choose your specialization. Within your specialization you can select a research group and you will be allocated to a personal tutor, and choose your focus. In short, you will develop a tailor-made programme based on your own wishes.
Our graduates are analysts and problem solvers who make contributions in many fields. Most find a job immediately after graduating either in trade and industry, the financial sector, ICT or management.
