Profile
The master’s programme offers two research-oriented specialisations where you can focus on Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory or Applied Mathematics. You can also combine Mathematics with education, management or science communication.Programme overview MathematicsThe MSc Mathematics programme offers five specialisations:-Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory: follow this two year research programme to become a specialist in one of the areas within pure mathematics-Applied Mathematics: focus on mathematics as it is applied in various aspects of physics and the life sciences.-Mathematics and Education (taught partly in Dutch): prepare yourself for a career in teaching mathematics.-Mathematics and Science Communication and Society: combine research with programmes in different aspects of science communication, such as journalism.-Mathematics and Science Based Business: combine training in Mathematics with an education in business and entrepreneurship.Each specialisation may consist of master courses offered by Leiden University, courses offered by the Dutch master programme in mathematics (Mastermath), and courses offered by other institutions, for example the Technical University of Delft.Students enrolling in this master’s specialisation have an excellent opportunity to broaden their interests outside their own specialist field, and during an internship are able to try out the opportunities offered by a career as a science communicator or a scientific journalist. The experiences and insights gained in this specialisation will also be of benefit to those who intend to continue in an academic environment. The ability to communicate about science is an essential skill that all scientists should have mastered!As for the mathematics component of this specialisation, there are possibilities to choose for a more analysis oriented programme, and for a more geometry/number theory oriented programme. Analysis courses focus on topics such as dynamical systems, differential equations, representation theory, percolation, pattern recognition and stochastic dynamics. Geometry/number theory courses focus on topics such as algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, cryptology and coding theory. There are no obligatory courses, and a tailor-made programme according to your wishes can be designed in consultation with the study advisor.
