The Mathematics Master programme offers courses in the following specialisations :

  • Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory

  • Applied Mathematics

  • Statistical Science for Life and Behavioural Sciences

  • Mathematics and Communication

  • Mathematics and Education

  • Mathematics and Science-Based Business

In broad lines, each specialisation offers courses at an advanced level, leading eventually to an individual research project and a major thesis. Some of the courses can be taken at a national level, via the Dutch national mastermath programme. The length of each specialisation is two years. Students from any university in the Netherlands with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics or with a Bachelor of Science Degree with major in Mathematics are admitted to the programme. For all other students, an Admission Committee will consider the possibility of enrolling.
