The Master’s programme in Mathematics at Aarhus University develops and expands the basic mathematical skills you have acquired during your bachelor’s degree programme. During the programme you will be introduced to advanced topics of pure mathematics, selected according to your own mathematical interests and preferences. At the end of the programme you will write a master’s thesis, that takes you to the forefront of research for a particular area of mathematics. The master’s thesis is written under the supervision of an experienced researcher in the chosen field.
The range of courses the Master’s programme covers main elements of the three classical areas of mathematics:
Algebra, Analysis, and Geometry/Topology,
and many of the courses examine and utilise the deep and fascinating interplay between these main mathematical disciplines. You can also choose to “spice up” your education with courses in Probability Theory, Statistics, Data Science, Optimisation, Cryptology or other subjects relevant to your degree programme. The courses are taught in English by active researchers and include traditional lectures as well as exercise sessions, in which the students undertake the more active role – individually or in teams. Classes will have a very good student-teacher ratio. Students will be mostly Danes but you will also find some international.
