Programme description
The Mathematical Analysis and Modelling (MAM) programme is a two-year (four semester) Master's programme (120 ECTS). It is taught in English. One semester, typically the third semester, is to be spent at a foreign university. If the foreign university is one of the partner universities (in France, Italy, Spain), a double degree can be obtained.
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis are fundamental tools in most scientific and technological advances nowadays. Mathematical models are widely used in natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, meteorology, medicine, ...), in architecture and engineering (engineering mechanics, civil, computing, ...), and in the social sciences (economics, psychology, sociology, ...). This makes Mathematical Modelling and Analysis a field of high demand, not only in the academic world but also from the labour market in many sectors of society and business. The main objective of the MAM degree is to provide top-ranked students with an excellent background in applied mathematics. Students who successfully complete the programme have knowledge of effective methods for solving problems and skills in the use of powerful computation software.
Programme structure
Typically, the first two semesters are to be spent in Augsburg with lectures and seminars in courses related to Mathematical Analysis and Modelling. A software project and soft-skill courses (including language courses) are part of the programme. The third semester is to be spent at a foreign university, while the fourth semester is reserved for the Master's thesis and its defence.
Mode of study
- Fully on-site
