Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics is a four-year, 240 ECTS program designed to provide students with a strong foundation in mathematical theory and its modern applications in science, engineering, and other quantitative fields.

Through a combination of core courses, advanced mathematics electives, and technical electives, students develop rigorous analytical, problem-solving, and quantitative skills while exploring areas aligned with their academic and career interests.

The flexible curriculum allows students to deepen their knowledge in areas such as pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, and financial mathematics, while non-mathematics electives provide opportunities to explore other disciplines and pursue a minor.

Upper-level courses also introduce students to research-oriented work, preparing graduates for mathematics-related careers as well as further study in pure and applied mathematics, statistics, and related fields.
