Overview
The courses offered in Advanced Mathematics and Mathematical Engineering (MAMME) at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, allow our students to design their curriculum, with two different orientations: a pure mathematics curriculum (oriented to research in fundamental mathematics) or an applied mathematics curriculum (preparing them for applied mathematics research and for interdisciplinary team working, in collaboration with engineers, physicists, biologists, economists, etc).
The curriculum comprises a total of 60 ECTS, divided in 45 ECTS for courses and 15 ECTS for the master’s thesis. It is intended to be completed in one academic year. In addition, MAMME offers the possibility of registering up to 22.5 ECTS in other masters in mathematics or statistics, or in other UPC master programs, opening the path for an interdisciplinary curriculum based on selected courses in masters in engineering and applied sciences.
The Catalan Agency for the Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR) has distinguished MAMME with the International Master’s Programme (IMP) mention in the 2013 call.
This Advanced Mathematics and Mathematical Engineering programme is offered by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (UPC) School of Mathematics and Statistics.
Professional opportunities
Some of the career prospects of master graduates are academic research (by pursuing a PhD in mathematics, science or engineering, for instance), mathematical modeling in industry, finance, statistics, applied research (biomedical research centers, computer vision, etc.)
Competencies
Generic competencies
Generic competencies are the skills that graduates acquire regardless of the specific course or field of study. The generic competencies established by the UPC are capacity for innovation and entrepreneurship, sustainability and social commitment, knowledge of a foreign language (preferably English), teamwork and proper use of information resources.
Specific skills
- (Research). Read and understand advanced mathematical papers. Use mathematical research techniques to produce and transmit new results.
- (Modelling). Formulate, analyse and validate mathematical models of practical problems by using the appropriate mathematical tools.
- (Calculus). Obtain (exact or approximate) solutions for these models with the available resources, including computational means.
- (Critical assessment). Discuss the validity, scope and relevance of these solutions; present results and defend conclusions.
- (Teaching). Teach mathematics at university level.
