Contents
As a masters programme, the curriculum is very flexible and allows for individual pathways. Due to this flexibility, we can only provide a rough outline of the content. Details can be found in our module handbook (click here for the module catalogue)
?

Mathematics
Approximately 25% of the programme consists of mathematics lectures. You will take courses at Master's level with a focus on mathematics related to algorithms and applications, such as modelling, numerical methods, optimisation and statistics. But there are many more options: courses in pure mathematics are equally allowed and encouraged!
?
Computer Science
Another 25% of the programme is made up of computer science courses. You will take master's level courses focusing on areas of computer science that require a mathematical background, such as machine learning, quantum computing and complexity. However, there are many more options in the computer science section.
?
Seminars
You will take two seminars (i.e. small group classes in which students work together interactively on a topic and give presentations), one in Mathematics and one in Computer Science. Seminars make up approximately 7.5% of the programme.?
?
Mathematics and Computer Science Project
Another 10% of the programme is the individually supervised maths and computer science project. A professor of your choice will assign you a current topic motivated by industrial applications or recent research in their field. The project then involves the implementation of algorithms that make progress on this topic. Topics in mathematics can be in areas such as data science, image processing, statistics and AI in medicine, inverse problems or high performance computing, and much more. The mathematics professors and their areas of expertise can be found on? this website. For the computer science professors click here.

?
Applications
A further 7.5% of the programme consists of courses in areas where mathematics and computing are applied, for example courses in computational methods in materials engineering. The aim is to broaden your horizons and give you an idea of possible job opportunities outside of academia.?
?
Master's thesis
The remaining 25% of the programme is your 6-month Master's thesis, where you will be involved in cutting-edge research with individual supervision and support. Knowledge gained from seminars and the project course can form the basis of a Master's thesis, but you are not required to complete your Master's dissertation with the same supervisors.?
