The research of the Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory cluster tries to bridge the gap between abstract theory and the world of algorithms and applications.

These aspects make the Creative Intelligence & Technology MSc program unique:

Conference

The specialisation enables you to understand the fundamentals of management and entrepreneurship alongside high quality mathematical research.

The Mathematics and Business Studies specialisation consists of 120 European Credit Transfer System (EC) points and includes a one-year mathematics component (60 - 80 EC) and a business component in the second year (40 - 60 EC).

Many students receive their first job offer during or right after their Business Studies internship. After graduating you can also aim for a career in Mathematics research.
