Presentation
The master's degree course in Mathematics and Applications aims to provide students with multidisciplinary skills, based on the consolidation of solid mathematical foundations and on the expansion of in-depth knowledge of traditional and innovative methodologies. The training offer is characterized by the possibility of choosing between three different curricula: Pure Mathematics, Mathematics for Industrial Engineering, Mathematics for Analytics and Finance, each of which is made up of fundamental courses, the content of which forms the basis on which recent research is based and specialist courses – chosen by the student – aimed at providing advanced contents and techniques in the various sectors of mathematics. The master's degree aims to train highly qualified professionals in the various sectors of mathematics, adapting to the propensities and specific rational characteristics of individuals. The differentiation of the educational offer has the aim of leading the students to the acquisition of individual soft skills and to develop problem solving skills, typical of mathematical knowledge.
Admittance requirements
Bachelor Degree in Mathematics or other Bachelor Degrees with at least 30 ECTS in Mathematics and adequate knowledge of Algebra, Analysis and Geometry.
A knowledge of the English language of at least level B1 of the CEFR classification (Common European Framework of Reference) is required.
Professions
There are many professional outlets for mathematics graduates: banks, insurance companies, survey institutes, consultancy or certification companies, software design and development companies, centers and companies operating in the medical field, biomedical and pharmacological, in the ecological field and in the research and development sections of large companies, in the transport, telecommunications and aerospace sectors.
Mathematics graduates are particularly sought after in fields in which IT knowledge with a high mathematical content is required (such as graphics, cryptography) or those which require good familiarity with scientific methods of investigation and a good understanding of mathematical tools (such as modelling, the numerical solution of systems of differential equations in the field of meteorology and the analysis of complex systems).
Mathematicians are in demand and highly appreciated by their employers because, thanks to their training, they can approach problems in a logical, analytical, and creative way and are able to conceive or adapt models for the different realities of companies. In companies, the mental training given by mathematics and the adaptability and flexibility of mathematicians towards new ideas are greatly appreciated.
