Programme structure

The Master's Degree Programme in Applied Mathematics takes two years to complete, and each academic year is divided into two semesters.

The structure of the programme allows you to opt for a general profile or specialize in one of the following research areas. The areas of specialization should be considered as suggestions to give you a better overview of the constituent and elective courses that we offer.

  • Numerical Analysis is a branch of mathematics that deals with efficient numerical solutions to mathematically formulated models. This could be, for example, optimising a financial portfolio, calculating the flow of air around a car or weather forecasts.

    Please note that some of the recommended courses may not be offered every year.

    Recommended autumn courses

    • (10 ECTS)

    If you wish to specialise in Statistics, you should choose (10 ECTS) and (10 ECTS) if you haven't already taken equivalent courses as part of your qualifying Bachelor's programme.

    Additionally, we recommend that you choose from among the following courses:

  • If you wish to obtain formal teaching qualifications enabling you to teach Mathematic in upper secondary schools in Denmark, you must take (5 ECTS) as one of you constituent Master's courses if you haven't taken an equivalent course as part of your qualifying Bachelor's programme.

    Additionally, you must take (5 ECTS) and (5 ECTS)* as constituent Master's courses, and (10 ECTS)* as one of your activities to put the main subject into perspective.

    * Please note that MM859 and NAT805 are taught only in Danish. You should have Danish language proficiency at the in order to follow the classes.

Company project

The Master's degree programme in Applied Mathematics includes the opportunity to do a company project, typically during the spring semester of the first year.

A company project is a well-defined project which is done part-time or full-time in a company or organisation, and which has a scope of 10, 15 or 30 ECTS. A company project places demands on learning on a par with other courses at the university. There is both an SDU supervisor and a company supervisor associated with the project.

The company project must take a specific problem as its starting point and study board must approve the project description before you can start working on the project.

Company projects are always unpaid.

The programme regulations are the legal foundation of the programme. They describe the rules applying to the programme, including the admission requirements, the programme structure, the qualifications you will achieve, and a summary of the general rules applying to all students.

As a student, you are responsible for keeping up to date with the programme regulations, which may be revised once every year – any changes typically come into effect on 1 September.

A course description is a detailed description of a course, in which you can read about the aim and contents of the course, teaching methods, the expected workload and the form of the exam.

On the 2nd year of the programme, you will work on your Master's Thesis project, which has a scope of 60 ECTS.

You will typically be affiliated with your supervisor's research group at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, who will be able to counsel and guide you in your literature search and your collection and processing of research data.
