Programme profile
When you study Applied Mathematics, you will discover that mathematics is a great tool for solving engineering problems and issues that affect our society. There are countless situations in which mathematics can be used: for weather forecasts, for creating traffic routes through cities or in aviation, and for arranging timetables for public transport. Technicians, medics and directors consult with mathematicians in order to capture their problems in mathematical models. With solutions derived from mathematics, mathematicians can provide new and better insights and workable answers to practical problems. Mathematics is a broad area of study that is in continuous development. This means that there are constantly new questions to answer – in fields as wide-ranging as the environment, atomization and the medical world
Programme content
In this programme, you will learn how to make use of mathematical instruments in the engineering and medical worlds, in banking and insurance, in the environment and in traffic. By simplifying practical problems and planning mathematical models based on them, you will reformulate these problems in such a way that they become mathematically solvable. Based on these models, you will make calculations, simulate the situation and compare the outcomes with reality. Computers are indispensable in this field, of course. Because you will often look beyond the boundaries of your own discipline as an Applied Mathematics student, you will acquire an understanding of many areas in which mathematics is applied. This is why subjects like Industrial Engineering and Management, Applied Physics and Technical Computer Science will make up a large part of your programme.
