About Master in Joint European Master's in Interdisciplinary Mathematics

Applications close Beginning of March.

The Joint European Master's in Interdisciplinary Mathematics (InterMaths) addresses the growing use of mathematical tools across biology, medicine, social sciences, material sciences, manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and big data — fields where applied mathematics has expanded significantly in recent decades. The programme pairs advanced modern mathematics with a strong orientation toward real-world applications, drawing on the complementary expertise of universities within the InterMaths Network. The 4-semester programme is structured so that students spend two years enrolled simultaneously at two different universities in at least two different countries. The first year provides a methodological foundation in mathematical modelling. In the second year, students choose their destination university based on the specialisation offered by the partner institutions. Curricula vary depending on the partner combination selected. An Erasmus+ funding scheme supports the programme. Graduates are prepared to work as applied mathematicians and to communicate with specialists from other fields. Depending on the path followed, graduates may pursue a PhD in Applied Mathematics or enter careers in business, industry, or government. The programme begins in the winter semester, with one component based at Hamburg University of Technology in Hamburg.
