The ?programme offered by??is?part of?the national?Mastermath Programme,?a collaboration of Dutch Mathematics Departments who?joined efforts to?enhance their Master's programmes.?Due to this collaboration you can benefit from?an exceptional list of mathematical courses, offered either by Utrecht University or another Dutch University.

We combine our course offerings with?personal and small-scale teaching, including:

  • a lively colloquium with distinguished international speakers;
  • research training in small group projects in pure-, applied- and industrial mathematics;
  • a unique special training in using historical sources;
  • student seminars in which you practice your own scientific presentation skills;?
  • collective learning of very advanced topics in pure or applied mathematics.

Within this Master's you can choose from 6 different?tracks,?allowing you to tailor the programme to your own personal interest.?

  • Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory
  • Differential Geometry, Topology and Lie Theory
  • Logic
  • Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems
  • Applied Mathematics, Complex Systems and Scientific Computing
  • Probability and Statistics
