You’ll graduate prepared for graduate or professional studies and success in a range of chemistry-related careers. You’ll have the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research alongside faculty and gain experience with state-of-the-art equipment in the Segerstrom Science Center.

The Applied Physics degree at the University of Johannesburg will prepare students for a variety of exciting careers in Science and Technology and provide graduates with an innovative edge to take advantage of the immense benefits associated with the fourth industrial revolution. The degree provides a pragmatic balance between fundamental and applied physics aspects with a strong emphasis on the development of problem-solving skills.

We will not surprise anyone when we say that we use various smart devices or come across digital products every day, maybe we have even heard something about digital currencies. You can only be surprised by the fact that all this is related to mathematics in one way or another. The math behind today's products isn't terribly complicated once you get the hang of it. It is like the language of modern technology. We all know the alphabet of this language, but not all of us can create new digital products, ensure the safe and perfect operation of new systems.

The Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Mathematics and Computing seeks to train professionals who are capable of applying mathematics in those areas of science, engineering, economics, and other social sciences where computation plays a key role. Students will be prepared for the design and use of algorithms and numerical modeling methods and for solving real problems. 

The Degree in Applied Mathematics is aimed at training professionals with a great capacity for analysis and at the same time practical sense. They are professionals capable of applying advanced methods of mathematics and computation to the industrial and social challenges and opportunities of the future.

This degree will allow you to train in the knowledge of the language and formalism of mathematics so that you can face and adapt to the challenges that appear with technological advances. You will acquire a good mathematical foundation with which you will be able to master the language with which technology is designed.

Physics is the study of the natural world at its foundation. As such it is the basis of other disciplines such as biology, medicine, chemistry, computer science, geology, astronomy and engineering. Physicists study the world from the smallest particles of matter (quarks and leptons), nuclei, atoms, and molecules; through forces and motions which determine properties of solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas; to descriptions of the behavior of matter on all scales up to stars, galaxies, and even the origin and fate of the universe. The department encourages student-faculty interaction in all these areas.

The B.S. degree in Mathematics is a program that offers a selection of courses from pure to applied mathematics and statistics. The program is suitable for students who would like to pursue graduate study or for those who desire a strong foundation for math-related careers or research that require analytical and critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Graduates in this degree are set to succeed in a range of careers in research, education, computer and data science, financial analysis, statistical analysis, etc. Students are encouraged to pursue research and internship opportunities. Students have the option to declare a concentration in Actuarial Science or Statistics. Students who would like to add a Teacher Licensure can also add a minor in Secondary Education by their second year.

The Department of Mathematics offers both a BA and a BS degree in Mathematics.

Mathematics is a driving force behind many of today’s advancements in medicine, economics and business, and science and technology. As a Bachelor of Mathematics student, you can choose from a broad range of program options, such as actuarial science, mathematics, statistics, etc., according to your interests and career goals.

Mathematics is fundamental in all scientific fields, as well as in the design and development of new technologies. The degree program in Mathematics aims to prepare a professional profile able to understand and apply both the tools of traditional mathematics and those of more modern theories.

Actuarial Science is an important field of Applied Mathematics. It requires Mathematical and Statistical skills to study and analyze uncertain events in the insurance and financial fields. An Actuary needs to know Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Interest Theory, etc. In addition, an Actuary has to learn some Finance, Accounting, Economics, and some other topics in Insurance.

The B.S. degree in Mathematics for Business is designed to provide a strong mathematics and statistics foundation and a well-rounded education in the quantitative aspects of finance, modeling, and analytics. Graduates of the Mathematics for Business program are valuable assets to the business community. They bring expertise in Mathematics, Statistics, and Operation Research, along with excellent analytic skills to businesses, financial institutions, insurance firms, and government agencies.

The degree in Mathematical Engineering at Universidad Europea is a four-year program in English designed to train the mathematicians of the future with a global vision of computing, calculus, and business as data scientists. Mathematical engineering includes a variety of areas and specializations, and our curriculum covers many areas that you can deepen your interest in over time, including the operation, development, design, and administration of mass data systems.

Mathematics is about number operations and algebra, motion and change (calculus and differential equations), logical analysis, scientific visualization, structure and geometry, the prediction of random events (probability), the extraction of useful information from large sets of data (statistics), the discovery of the best ways to do things (optimization). It is abstract and theoretical, and intensely down-to-earth and practical, all at the same time.

The program in the Department of Mathematics provides a solid background in both pure and applied mathematics, covering fundamental concepts as well as the latest developments in research.
