APPLIED MATHEMATICS

Can you predict when something goes viral? How can you detect diseases using medical imaging? What happens in your brain when an epileptic seizure occurs? These questions all have one thing in common: mathematics is the way to come up with answers.

In this master’s, you will apply mathematics to challenging issues in the most diverse sectors, from technology to healthcare. You will learn how to discover new patterns and how to predict them through mathematical models. Your choice of specialisation and accompanying research group, determines which courses you will be doing and the nature of your master’s assignment. In addition to the courses in the first year, you will do an internship or project at a company or organisation outside the University of Twente. Think, for example, of a financial organisation, an engineering firm, a hospital or major carrier company, such as KLM or NS. With employers in the technical, financial, medical and social sectors increasingly seeking mathematicians who can come up with practical solutions, you will be important to society as well as hugely in demand in the job market.

APPLIED PHYSICS

Applied Physics is all about understanding the fundamental laws of the physical world and finding ways to apply those laws through technical solutions. Applied physicists use scientific principles to create or improve practical devices and systems and to contribute in many other fields. The physics department at the University of Twente is one of the best in the world.

During our Master’s in Applied Physics, you will learn more about the fundamentals of modern physics and their application. This programme will expand your knowledge of physics as a whole, while giving you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in a specialisation of your choice. At the University of Twente, we focus on science and engineering in areas such as Physics of Fluids, Nano Electronic Materials, Applied Nanophotonics, Soft Matter and Energy Materials & Systems. You can tailor your programme to suit your individual interests and ambitions. For a complete overview of our focus areas and the corresponding courses, please visit our website.
