Mathematical Sciences

Mathematics is the science of structures that occur in the exact sciences, including mathematics itself. Discovery of new patterns and relations, and the construction of models with predictive power are the core activities of mathematics. Frequently, we see an interaction between fundamental and applied research. This versatility is reflected in the Master’s programme Mathematical Sciences. 

The programme offers a broad scope in a stimulating international environment which is renowned for its excellent research. Students who prefer to research subjects in depth will feel particularly at home at Mathematical Sciences. This programme offers the following specializations:

• Algebraic geometry and number theory
• Applied analysis
• Differential geometry and topology
• History of mathematics
• Logic
• Probability and statistics
• Pure analysis
• Scientific computing

Learn more about the specializations on the website of the Mathematical Institute.

Utrecht University also offers a Honours programme in Theoretical Physics and Mathematical Sciences for excellent students.
