Overview
Do you want to gain expertise in mathematics? Then this is the programme for you! The master’s programme in mathematics has two different profiles: one in mathematics education, oriented towards becoming a mathematics teacher, and one pure mathematical profile. In mathematics education, issues related to the teaching of mathematics are dealt with.
The mathematical direction provided will allow students to gain advanced technical expertise and delve deeper into mathematics. Both profiles qualify students for lectureships after completed PPU education (Practical Pedagogical Education), and both qualify for PhD studies.
Upon completion of the Master’s programme in Mathematics at University of Agder, you will:
- have gained advanced knowledge of key issues and methods in mathematics and mathematics education;
- have gained a thorough knowledge of theories and methods of research in mathematics and/or mathematics education;
- be able to analyse academic issues based on the history of mathematics and its traditions, character and place in society.
- be able to communicate research results and methods to both specialists and non-specialists
