General description
Mathematical modeling means working with math in many different areas from health care to environmental engineering. It requires communication skills, creativity, an open mind, a broad interest in the world around us and the ability to work closely with others. Mathematics is a part of our everyday lives: it is in cellular phones, train schedules and search engines – to name but a few. And its future looks even brighter. There is an ever increasing demand for mathematical models and methods in industrial applications, information technology, financial institutions, earth observation, health care and many other areas driven by technological progress. The demand for quick, easy data-access is creating further opportunities. Examples include airline scheduling, medical imaging, DNA sequencing, wind power, and drug development.
This MSc program covers a wide range of topics in mathematics and its applications. The goal is to provide graduates with a solid foundation in applied mathematics and mathematical modeling for industrial research and development, combined with skills in operating modern computing facilities for handling large amounts of data.
The program is a continuation of a highly successful and popular program, whose graduates now work in virtually all sectors of society. Students who take advantage of our uniquely designed cooperative thesis projects with industry often receive employment offers from the company or institution involved. Many students go on to PhD programs or are offered research and development jobs. Industry as well as government grants are available
