Started at 2007/2008. Minimum number of credits for the degree is 120.
The MSc in Mathematics and Applications at FCT Nova combines scientific research with a broad range of topics in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. It provides a solid scientific knowledge with a high level of interdisciplinarity, training professionals with the latest mathematical techniques for problem solving.
This MSc program offers three specialization profiles: Actuarial, Statistics and Operational Research (ASOR), Financial Mathematics (FM) and Pure Mathematics (PM).
The profile of ASOR forms mathematicians capable of understanding, framing, modeling and solving real problems of companies and organizations in the world. The interdisciplinarity as well as the intensive use of data will provide students with fundamental skills for decision-making, a constant challenge in any company.
The FM profile provides a systematic knowledge of mathematical models and fundamental quantitative methods in the current financial industry.
In these two profiles, mathematical models and techniques are implemented using intensive computer use, either through algorithm development using languages as Python, R, Mathlab, or high-level modelling languages as GAMS or AMPL.
The PM profile provides a solid scientific background in mathematics, allowing specialization in areas such as algebra, analysis, algebraic geometry, differential equations, mathematical logic, among others.
All profiles provide a scientific research experience in Mathematics and its applications that can take you to the frontier of knowledge!
The versatility of training in mathematics allows access to any company in the
It also provides access to Teaching and Research in Higher Education.
