BA/BS in Applied Mathematics

In the Bachelor program Applied Mathematics, you will learn to transform everyday problems into mathematical models that help you solve problems and improve situations in everyday life.
You can find mathematical thinking everywhere. In debit card encryption, in transport planning, in spaceship design, in insurance rates, in designing wind farms, and in the time you spend waiting for the light to turn green: mathematicians trained at TU/e are involved in all these issues and more.

With applied mathematics, you can solve problems that at first may not even appear to be mathematical in nature: practical problems that exists in industry or governmental institutions.

This major offers a sophisticated balance between acquiring expert knowledge, learning skills and working on real-world challenges. After graduation, you will receive a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Applied Mathematics.

Your major takes up about half of your three-year bachelor's degree program. You will take a number of essential courses and electives, learn theory, mathematical modeling and build your professional skills. In addition, you will follow courses that contribute to your future role as an engineer, involving working on a variety of real-world assignments, independently and in groups. With the assistance of your coach, you will
develop a solid foundation for a career involving mathematics.
