University Master's Degree in Advanced Mathematics

The purpose of this master's degree is the acquisition by the student of an advanced training in mathematics mainly oriented towards initiation in research tasks, while ensuring that the contents of a significant part of their subjects are useful for those graduates who want to channel their professional career into the field of education, business or banking.

The master is the formative period of the Doctorate in Mathematics of the Universidad de Murcia . For this, five specialties have been offered (Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Operational Research and Probability and Statistics), which will guarantee the graduate an optimal preparation in the area where he wants to work in the future, although students are given the possibility of designing "à la carte" your own profile as there are no restrictions on the choice of electives.

Students are offered the opportunity to combine the MMA with the Master's in Teacher Training (Mathematics specialty), so that both degrees can be obtained after completing 36 credits from the first and 52 from the second.

Students who justifiably cannot attend all classes of a subject may take it in blended mode. In this case, the only compulsory attendance will be in the evaluation activities that are designated by the teachers in the subject guide. The teachers will provide the student with the material they consider pertinent to prepare the subject (notes, problem sheets, list of bibliography, indications, etc.)

Tuition aids are offered, the amount of which varies from course to course according to the resources available to the program.

Justification

The Master in Advanced Mathematics (MMA) allows completing the academic training of graduates in Mathematics or Statistics, for their access to research jobs or doctoral programs in mathematics with a view to accessing a university teaching and research career and in other centers . The teaching staff is made up of internationally renowned researchers in the five specialties of the program. The national and international relations of our teaching staff with other researchers allow the students of our master and our doctorate the access to positions of visiting professors (stays) and work in universities and research centers.

Competencies

Basic skills

• Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context
• That the students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their problem-solving capacity in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study
