Introduction
The Master in Mathematics and Applications
- Strengthens knowledge of pure mathematics
- Offers three different curricula - one on pure mathematics and mathematics education, a second on applications of mathematics to economics and finance, and a third on applications to technology and engineering
- Gives students the option to acquire valuable work experience through internships in businesses or schools.
This Master’s course benefits from the longstanding and widely appreciated educational expertise of its faculty members, notoriously very friendly with their students, and from a wide range of supporting facilities such as communal study spaces, computer services, libraries, as well as dedicated tutoring services. The research experience of faculty members feeds directly into the curriculum, which includes topics related to, for example, the design of electric and racing cars, applications to earth and sea sciences, economics and finance, health (medical diagnostics), assistive robotics (exoskeletons), and much more.

Language courses (advanced English or other languages)
Seminars on mathematics and its applications (in Italian)
Higher-level apprenticeships (see below).
Students with an undergraduate degree in a subject other than mathematics are advised to use the free-choice ECTS to acquire the necessary background in mathematics. Moreover, they are warmly invited to contact the Course Coordinator to discuss available options.
High Apprenticeship
This is a one-year, on-the-job training program. To this end, students may use the ECTS reserved for
- Optional courses, or
- The final dissertation.
Knowledge of the Italian language is strongly recommended.
Dissertation
All students are required to submit a final dissertation, written under the supervision of a faculty member. Students must discuss potential dissertation topics with their chosen advisor well in advance of their
Quality Assurance System UNICAM
The Quality Management System Certificate ISO 9001:2015 (from AFAQ-France, a French company that is one of the first and most important certification bodies at the global level) guarantees the quality of services provided as part of the course. This certificate is obtained through a rigorous analysis of our internal organizational procedures by AFAQ France. In this way, any weaknesses or shortcomings are promptly addressed, whether detected by staff or reported by the students themselves. The Quality Management System includes the following support services for students: advice and guidance, mentoring, international mobility, internships, and communication. These services complement educational activities in an ideal way so as to ensure that students develop a broad range of academic and professional skills. expected graduation date.
Career Opportunities
Italian-speaking students interested in teaching may consider a school internship.
Students interested in a career in industry (for example involving the development and application of mathematical models for finance, commerce, or industry), or in the civil service.
Students interested in academic research are advised to consider the PhD programs of the UNICAM International School of Advanced Studies.
Lectures are held face-to-face on campus. Remote attendance may be made available through the UNICAM streaming platform, depending on university policy.
The format of laboratory activities may vary - relevant details are made available as necessary. All teaching is in English.
