Om studiet
Join an international master’s in Mathematical Sciences at UiT, where you’ll specialize in topics like algebra, geometry, statistics, and complex systems. Study in a close-knit, research-active department with strong student–faculty interaction. With courses in English and exchange opportunities, this program prepares you for global careers in academia, industry, or data-driven innovation.
The academic contents of the program are geared towards modern issues in mathematics and statistics, and towards the appliance of mathematics and statistics in technology and other natural sciences. The candidates will gain relevant skills within programming, data processing, analytical problem solving and quantitative analysis.
The master´s program consists of 30-40 ECTS in specialization courses and up to 20 ECTS in elective courses. The mandatory courses are 10 ECTS in Introduction to mathematical research. The master program concludes with a master’s thesis of 60 ECTS.
Examples of course combinations for students with interests in applied mathematics, differential geometry, algebra and statistics are found in the Study plan below.
Courses from other Universities, both national and international can be included in the study program.
