9 Mathematics Degree Programs in Netherlands

Could you predict an economic crisis? How many prime numbers are there in a certain interval? How do we calculate the limit of an infinite series of function values? Mathematicians love difficult questions and models underpinned by theoretical foundations. Over the centuries, mathematics has made an important contribution to technological progress, and it is still a crucial part of research into important issues such as the climate crisis. This three-year program in Mathematics is an international Bachelor’s degree program. All of the course units are taught in English, which gives Mathematics an extra dimension as many of your fellow students and lecturers will come from abroad.

The MSc in Mathematics was rated as the best degree program in its field and awarded the 'Top Rated Program' label (Keuzegids Masters 2017). It is also the best master's program in Mathematics in the Netherlands, according to Elsevier. In our program, you are going to be part of an informal community, you are going to create your own large-scale research project, and acquire skills highly appreciated by employers, whether you pursue a career in science or a company.

Mathematics opens the door to a wide range of career paths. This Master's allows you to build your own tailor-made programme and to specialise in a broad range of fields, within pure mathematics, applied mathematics and mathematical physics.

The master’s program in Mathematics focuses on analysis and number theory. From applied to fundamental research, and from algebra to data science, our master’s program spans these fields entirely.

Prepare for a career teaching Mathematics in international secondary schools with the Mathematics specialisation at ITESS. You’ll grow into an engaging, inclusive, and culturally sensitive educator, with the knowledge, skills and experience needed to teach Mathematics effectively in a secondary school.

How can we spread covid patients across hospitals, with a mathematical model? How do prime numbers help to encrypt chat messages? And how does math contribute to intelligent software? During this challenging program, you will receive an excellent foundation in pure and applied mathematics, but you will also have the chance to stake out your own focus. In the international classroom, you will be surrounded by other math fanatics.

Are you interested in the natural sciences and want to look beyond the boundaries of a single discipline? Or do you want to focus on one discipline and become an expert in that specific field?

Are you interested in using mathematics as the speaking language for areas like economics, physics, biology, and data science? Or as a challenging game for creative problem solving (like how to use the distortion of mobile phone signals to estimate the size of raindrops)? Do you want to become a skilled professional, trained to create the models and business processes necessary for this computerized world? Then this Master's might fit into the equation!

Do you want to better understand the underlying mechanisms of life? Would you like know more about how you can use biology and mathematics to gain deeper insight into the evolution of animals and plants, the development of diseases and the possibly the development of new therapies? Then Systems Biology and Bioinformatics is the right programme for you! This programme will give you the knowledge and practical skills necessary to unravel the complexity of these systems and use it for academic, industrial and societal progress. After you’ve graduated, your ability to unify life sciences and mathematics will make you a great candidate for a career in medical research, drug development and biotechnology.
