17 Mathematics and Physical Science Degree Programs in Denmark

A Physics and Technology engineer combines the best of two worlds: the drive of a physicist to understand the basic principles of how the world works and the drive of an engineer to find new technological solutions to the challenges of our society. Some of the main challenges of today are related to energy and climate, and the solutions are in many cases related to the intelligent use of materials.

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 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 degree program in Mathematics develops your knowledge of scientific theories and methods, your experience in working independently with scientific questions, and your ability to express yourself clearly on academic issues.

MSc in Mathematics-Economics has taught you about how rates for a new mortgage loan should be fixed – with an interest-rate ceiling or as interest-only loans. In fact, it was mathematics–economics graduates who developed the model used for fixing the cost of such loans. All major companies face complex problems, and many turn to mathematics–economists when they do.

In the Applied mathematics program, you will learn to model and solve problems from the practical world using advanced mathematical methods. Aside from the basic mathematical principles, the Applied mathematics program will acquaint you with mathematical modeling, i.e. formulating complex problems in applications as mathematical problems, in order to analyze them and perform calculations digitally.

In the Work-Integrated Master’s degree in Mathematics-Economics at Aarhus University, you study part-time while working part-time in a company or organisation. This allows you to apply advanced quantitative and economic methods directly to real decision-making tasks. After the 4-year programme, you graduate with both industry experience and a high-quality master’s degree—an attractive combination for employers across finance, consultancy, and data-driven industries.

In the Work-Integrated Master’s degree in Mathematics at Aarhus University, you study part-time while working part-time in a company or organisation. This allows you to apply advanced mathematical concepts directly to real problems in your workplace. After the 4-year programme, you graduate with both solid professional experience and a high-quality master’s degree—an attractive combination for employers across many sectors.

The Erasmus Mundus International Master in Quantum Technologies and Engineering (QuanTEEM) offers you a unique international educational experience with a focused curriculum on quantum technologies, by bringing together the expertise of research groups at three renowned EU universities. The backbone of the programme is a multi-disciplinary approach in physics, materials (including nanostructures), and computer science, which will make you a skilled expert and quantum engineer.

The MSc programme in Chemistry lets students specialise in their chosen area of interest while building strong foundational knowledge in the field. Students can construct their unique programme with courses from various branches of chemistry such as organic, biophysical, materials, atmospheric, inorganic, theoretical/computational, and physical chemistry.
