M.Sc. Mathematics — Compulsory Elective Modules in Mathematics

In this field of study, modules of 51 or 69 CP must be completed, depending on whether an optional profile area of 18 CP is chosen. At least 18 CP in modules on pure mathematics (marked with an "R") and at least 12 CP in modules on applied mathematics ("A") must be acquired. In addition, at most two advanced modules may be taken.
