BA/BS in Mathematics (Wiskunde)

This bachelor's provides a strong foundation in both pure and applied mathematics, within an international cohort, exploring questions such as how prime numbers underpin modern cryptography, how geometry explains fundamental principles of physics, and how mathematics feeds into computer programming, reflecting the view that mathematics is the only route to answering most scientific questions that carry weight for society. A part-time route is available, following the same classes with a lighter course load, typically taking around six years at twenty study hours a week with a personal study plan agreed with a study adviser. Many teachers are active researchers whose work connects to fields such as computer science or econometrics, and they operate an open-door policy for student questions.
