Master in MATHEMATICS

Tuition is 2,056 EUR per year.

Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change, developed through logical reasoning and abstract proof as well as applications to other fields. A master's programme in mathematics typically builds on undergraduate training in analysis, algebra, and geometry, allowing students to specialise further in areas such as pure mathematics, applied mathematics, probability and statistics, or mathematical modelling. Depending on its orientation, a programme may lean toward theoretical topics, such as advanced algebra or analysis, or toward applied areas connected to physics, computer science, finance, or engineering, often including a substantial independent research project. Graduates with a mathematics background pursue careers in fields that value strong analytical and quantitative reasoning, including finance, data science, engineering, actuarial work, and software development, as well as teaching and academic research. The abstract problem-solving skills developed through a mathematics degree transfer well to roles that require rigorous logical thinking, making mathematics graduates competitive across a wide range of technical and analytical positions. Some continue directly into doctoral study, aiming for careers in academic or industrial research. This two-year Mathematics master's programme is offered by Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, based in Milano, Italy, and taught in English. As a master's-level programme, it is intended for students who already hold a bachelor's degree in mathematics or a closely related quantitative discipline. The English-medium format is designed to make advanced mathematical study accessible to an international student body at a university with an established presence in the sciences within the Milano area.
