BSc in Mathematics

Programme overview

This is an academic programme designed for students with a strong interest in mathematics, mathematical statistics and scientific computing. Flexibility and individual adaptation are keywords. The programme is structured in a highly flexible manner and is designed to give students solid theoretical knowledge in mathematics, while at the same time providing possibilities for each student to pursue his/her own educational profile according to interests and career aspirations.

A vast variety of courses in mathematics, statistics and numerical analysis is available within the programme and can be combined with courses from all other science areas, economy and finance, engineering as well as humanities and social sciences, available at our university or within an exchange programme with other universities. For students with a strong interest in pure mathematics, the programme offers a path of courses at a higher theoretical level that can be continued at Master’s and even further at PhD level.

For those students interested in more applied areas, there is a high degree of flexibility in choosing course combinations suitable for certain professions. For instance, courses in mathematical statistics and numerical analysis can be combined with courses in financial mathematics and economics. Another usual path is combining studies in mathematics and physics. Each direction implies a different combination of courses. Predefined recommended course combinations suitable for the different directions are available and study counselling is provided throughout the entire programme.
