Overview
Programme overview
The Master's programme in Mathematics focuses on exchanging ideas between different fields in mathematics, and across other disciplines. Students in this programme can take part in the Mastermath programme, a country-wide exchange programme allowing you to take any mathematics course at any Dutch university. Students in this programme can also enroll in the Gravity+ track, focused on the role of gravity in the universe.
This programme is closely connected with the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics, as well as the Institute for Computing Science.

General requirements
- A completed Bachelor's degree in Mathematics or related area: Entering the Master’s programme in Mathematics requires a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics that is the equivalent to a Dutch university diploma (this does not include a Bachelor’s from a university of applied science, in Dutch hbo; in German Fachhochschule).
- The Admission Office will determine if an international student has the required mathematical knowledge to be admitted. The Admission Office will also indicate if the student is required to follow specific courses from the Bachelor's programme to eliminate possible deficiencies.
- A proficiency in English
Students must have passed (preliminary) examinations containing the following subject matter:
Irrespectively of the chosen Master's track:
- Linear algebra: at least 9 EC. Knowledge of just matrix calculus is not sufficient.
- Algebra: at least 12 EC
- Calculus and analysis: at least 18 EC, of which 9 EC is rigorous analysis including proofs. This must cover the basics of metric spaces, including compactness and connectedness.
- Differential equations: at least 3 EC.
Additional for the track 'Foundations':
- Basic knowledge of topological spaces, including fundamental group
- At least one introductory course on Logic and Set Theory
Additional for the track 'Applications':
- Numerical mathematics: at least 3 EC
- Due to the COVID-19 outbreak which has led to the temporary closure of test centres, Radboud University currently also accepts the iBT TOEFL Special Home Edition. For all other questions regarding the coronavirus please visit our FAQ.
