The study programme
This two-year programme reflects the versatility of mathematics and focuses on questions from all major branches of advanced modern mathematics, pure as well as applied. It allows you to specialise in the area of your interest, while broadening your knowledge in general. Specifically, you choose one of the four specialisations, each offering a large number of courses.
Close to one hundred courses, given in the framework of the MasterMath programme or by UvA-affiliated experts.
Discrete Mathematics and Quantum Information, positioned at the interface between mathematics, theoretical computer science and quantum physics.
Obtain both master diplomas in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics by removing the overlap between both programmes.
UvA Science Park houses logical partners such as CWI and the QuSoft consortium, and - of course - other UvA science institutes.
After graduation
Graduates of this Master's programme are well-equipped to pursue successful careers in academia, industry or public service. Mathematicians work in industry, banking, technology, consultancy, service organisations and many other segments of the labour market. Their analytical and problem-solving skills give them a crucial advantage in a many work situations, even those where mathematical knowledge may not seem immediately relevant.
