Industrial and Applied Mathematics

The Industrial and Applied Mathematics (IAM) Master offers an excellent program combining training in applied mathematics with personal development, soft skills training, and career preparation.
Mathematics is flourishing in a world full of exciting developments. Technological advances in the digital domain pose new challenges as well as new opportunities. This is reflected in the enormous increase in the availability of data and its use in society and industry (Big Data, data science, smart industry), as well as the increase in computing power (equal contributions of faster computers and better algorithms). There are also future developments, like quantum computing, that have already cast their shadow on security, prompting (for instance) the development of post-quantum cryptography. There is thus an increasing need in society for applied mathematicians with state-of-the-art mathematical knowledge and skills.

This Master's program offers you an excellent place to learn the tools and methods needed to start contributing to society's technological needs. It provides large flexibility through a wide range of elective courses. The teaching in the master's program is strongly related to the departmental research focus areas. Apart from the mathematical topics, the program also covers personal development, soft skills, and career orientation.
