Applied Mathematics

Overview

The goals of the Applied Mathematics programme of Eötvös Loránd University is to  develop a student’s mathematical  skills to solve industrial and other real-life problems and development tasks in innovative ways.

This program enables students to acquire fundamental capabilities such as:

• modelling and analytical skills,

• knowledge of numerical methods,

• skills in programming and simulation,

• experience with real-life mathematical models such as in industry or economy,

• ability to handle huge amounts of data by integrating mathematical, numerical and statistical methods.

Strength of program

One of the main features of the program is that it covers several areas of applied mathematics, thus our graduates will have a broad knowledge. Besides offering introduction and basic foundation in many topics, some of the subjects lead to up-to-date research results.

Our instructors all have scientific degrees and good research records, as well as international teaching experience. Of particular interest is the fact that many researchers in the internationally renowned Hungarian school of combinatorics have started their career at our university: for example, the Wolf Prize and Kyoto Prize winner Prof. László Lovász, and the recent Abel Prize winner Prof. Endre Szemerédi.

Career paths

Our graduates will be able to continue their career in industrial development and research,  such as high tech industries, telecommunication, software development, financial institutions or insurance companies. They may also apply for Ph.D. studies either at Eötvös Loránd University or anywhere in the world.
