Master in Mathematical Sciences

The number of places available are announced by the Graduate School with the eligibility criteria for candidates, as well as other required documents that must be attached to the application such as:

• Bachelor’s degree from a recognised University.
• Previous University education in a suitable subject (academic background) and grades of relevant degrees.
• Letters of recommendation.
• Personal interview and/or written examination (if provided by the Department’s internal rules).
• Submission of preliminary research proposal for admission to a doctoral course (if provided by the Department’s internal rules).

The Department may also set additional criteria and quality indicators such as: (a) number of students’ publications in scientific journals, (b) students’ participation in seminars, symposia, research programmes, (c) presentations by students at conferences, (d) knowledge of foreign languages, and (e) professional experience, etc.

Profile of Programme
The main scope of the Master programme in Mathematical Sciences is to enlarge students’ horizons in various aspects of Applied and Pure Mathematics and to develop their skills for research purposes. Furthermore, the programme aims to prepare the students either for
PhD studies in Mathematics or for a successful professional career in other sectors.

Key Learning Outcomes
The Department expects the students to demonstrate the following learning outcomes:

• Acquisition of specialized knowledge and skills in various areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics.
• Development of critical thinking and of the ability to deal with and elaborate on specific problems.
• Familiarization of the students with the international bibliography.
• Introduction of the students in research.
• Expertise acquisition in writing and presenting a master’s thesis.

Master Thesis

Master’s Thesis (MT) (30 ECTS) is compulsory for all students of the Master in Mathematical Sciences and requires the student to find a supervisor according to the regulations of the MT. The student can decide whether to work on either a Pure or an Applied Mathematics topic.

• Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
