This programme gives you a sound knowledge of mathematics and how to use mathematics as a tool in areas such as computer science, economy and engineering. With sound knowledge of mathematics and good practice in programming and in handling computer-aided mathematics tools, you are well-prepared for deeper studies in applied mathematics.

In this programme, you will study environmental processes, monitoring and data management on local and global scales. You will obtain knowledge of various ecosystems, climate and climate change, land forming processes and land use. You learn useful tools such as GIS, remote sensing and digital mapping for analyzing and presenting data. You also gain the perspective of human activities, exploitation of natural resources and development. You will study in an international environment and learn both theory and practice through field excursions, group work and computer labs. Our staff has extensive experience working in different environments, from the cold Arctic to North African deserts and tropical forests in Central Africa and South America.

This is an academic programme designed for students with a strong interest in mathematics, mathematical statistics and scientific computing. Flexibility and individual adaptation are keywords. A vast variety of courses in mathematics, statistics and numerical analysis are available within the programme and can be combined with courses from all other science areas, economics and finance, engineering, humanities and social sciences available at our university or within an exchange programme with other universities. For students with a strong interest in pure mathematics, the programme offers a path of courses at a higher theoretical level that can be continued at Master’s and even further at PhD level. For those students interested in more applied areas, there is a high degree of flexibility in choosing course combinations suitable for certain professions.

Our world is facing many challenges, both in basic science when exploring fundamental forces and particles or the origin of the universe, planets and life, and in applied science to find sustainable energy sources, new technology on the nano-scale and tailor-made materials for industry, chemistry and medicine. Physics is the basis for this endeavour and physicists play an important role in these and many other fields. As a physicist, you will have a broad education and a wide range of tools for problem solving, tools which you can apply in almost any situation. These tools include mathematical and programming skills. We offer the whole three-year Bachelor's programme in English, and since all of the courses at an advanced level are given in English, you are free to choose from a wide variety of courses.
