Mathematical models, advanced simulations, and sophisticated computer computations are increasingly used in the development of new technologies.
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
Industrial and Applied Mathematics graduate program
In its teaching and research the Mathematics group of the department focuses on a variety of fields that are highly relevant for industry, corporations and government agencies. From the optimization of networks to cryptographic schemes, from the analysis of phenomena in which randomness plays a role to models and methods that are essential in problems of decision-making and optimization, and from large-scale numerical computations to models involving differential equations.
The Mathematics group has a strong reputation in these fields. Its industrial and applied profile and its industrial network are distinctive characteristics of the Mathematics group.
Industrial and Applied Mathematics plays a key role in the development of innovative technologies, e.g., mathematical models, advanced simulations and sophisticated (computer) computations are increasingly being used in new technological developments,
Industrial and Applied Mathematics graduate program aims to make the connections between the separate degree programs tighter and more flexible, to enable different paths through them according to student needs and possibilities.
Our Master' program offers an Honors Program, which is a challenging research-oriented program for the most talented students.
The two year Designer's program Mathematics for Industry focuses on training the specific mathematical and non-mathematical skills required for working in a company's research and development department. For appropriate candidates, there exists the possibility of combining the Designer's program with the Master's program, reducing the total amount of time within both programs are completed. The Designer's graduation project can be continued, under certain conditions, in a PhD program, leading to a PhD degree in two and a half more years.
The four year PhD program is usually based on an externally funded project, and the principal investigator selects a candidate having a suitable Master's degree amongst applicants from many countries. Internal funding may be available, especially for students following the Honors program.
For talented students there is the possibility to follow the Graduate Program Complex Molecular Systems, next to the Industrial and Applied Matematics graduate program.
Within the Industrial and Applied Mathematics graduate program of the TU/e Graduate School, the following programs are available.
