    Progress in the sciences and technologies involved in the new digital era, such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, or data analysis, but also in other important contexts, from biomedicine to finance, requires the correct application of mathematical knowledge, both theoretical and practical.

    There is little doubt that Mathematics is a corner stone of STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), key to sustained growth of technologically advanced countries, whose economies require training of such type of professionals. Specifically, the current job market seeks mixed profiles which, being specialized, also feature knowledge from different areas enabling fast adaptation to change.

    The Master’s Degree in Computational and Applied Mathematics offered by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid responds to such a demand, by emphasizing a double, computational and mathematical, approach to solving realistic problems, offering multidisciplinar education to holders of STEM Bachelor degrees which, from a solid basic training, is oriented towards the development of quantitative and computational methods which can be applied to a wide spectrum of disciplines.

    The main goal is to provide the students with sufficient analytical and numerical capacities and intellectual rigor, which allow them to tackle realistic problems in an ever-changing environment. The necessary mathematical and computational foundations will be provided that enable performance of cutting-edge basic research, either in the academic domain (with the possibility to join the Ph.D. program of the Mathematics Department), or else working in innovative companies within the technology sector in an ample sense.

    Reasons to study master in Computational and Applied Mathematics

    │MASTER IN NUMBERS

    • ☛ The job market for applied mathematicians has been rapidly growing in the last years and is expected to grow even more in the future.

      Application

      The request is made electronically through our application. Before starting the admission process, please, read the following information:

      REQUIREMENTS

      Candidates must have a previous university degree, preferably in the areas of:

      • Mathematical Sciences, Computer Engineering, Physical Sciences or Statistics
      • Telecommunications Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or Physical Engineering.
      • Other degrees as long as they accredit sufficient levels of knowledge in the area of Mathematics (12 ECTS) and Computer Science (6 ECTS in basic programming skills). It is mandatory to present the syllabus of the essential subjects (or the equivalent ones) taken by the student, namely: (A) Linear algebra; (B) (Differential and integral) Calculus of a single variable; (C) (Differential and integral) Calculus of several variables; (D) Ordinary differential equations; (E) Partial differential equations; (F) Numerical analysis; (G) Probability; and (H) Programming.

      ADMISSION CRITERIA

      The selection of candidates will be made by the program's Steering Committee. Admission will be based on the merit and ability of the applicants, for which purpose the following criteria will be taken into account:
