About the Program

The Master's programme has a prescribed length of four semesters (two years) and ends with the Master of Science degree. It builds on a first academic degree in mathematics (e.g., a Bachelor's degree) and it offers the opportunity to deepen the academic knowledge in one of the several major areas of mathematics, both pure and applied. The training in independent scientific work can be undertaken at one of the seven institutes that engage in cutting edge research in a wide variety of contemporary areas of the mathematical sciences. The main research topics at each institute include the following: Institute of Algebra, Number Theory, and Discrete Mathematics: representation theory, arithmetic number theory, reflection groups and arrangements of hyperplanes Institute of Algebraic Geometry: algebraic surfaces, Calabi-Yau manifolds and their moduli, mirror symmetry, modular forms, singularity theory Institute of Analysis: partial differential equations on manifolds with geometric singularities, spectral geometry, geometric and deformation quantisation, noncommutative geometry and operator algebras, sub-Riemannian geometry, mathematical statistics Institute of Applied Mathematics: applied analysis, formation of mathematical models, optimisation, numerical analysis and scientific computing Institute of Differential Geometry: geometric flow equations, symplectic geometry, Kaehler and hyperkaehler geometry, gauge theory Institute of Actuarial and Financial Mathematics: stochastical analysis, actuarial and financial mathematics, probability theory
