Applied Mathematics

Overview

The research groups within Applied Mathematics  master’s at the University of Twente (UT)  have strong ties with companies that present you and your fellow students with all kinds of real-world issues. 

For instance, you may find yourself helping a hospital to reduce their waiting lists. In addition, you will have lots of contacts with relevant professors and research groups while fulfilling the role of junior researcher within your chosen research group.

You will work on relevant complex issues. Examples include modelling veins in the human body in order to search for causes of heart failure, developing models that can predict crime rates for different cities, or determining the most suitable location for a new fire station. With your research results and mathematical knowledge you will contribute to life-saving solutions.

Careers

After obtaining your master’s you will have plenty of job opportunities to choose from. You could opt for a career in healthcare, e.g. using mathematics to improve certain diagnostics, or employing mathematical neuroscience models to better understand how the human nervous system works. You could also work in the media industry, applying deep learning networks to achieve better social network filtering, or use your knowledge of algorithms and machine learning to create models for predicting earthquakes. 

Accreditation

The programm holds NVAO accreditation.
