Objectives
The general objectives of the Master in Mathematics Education aim to provide the understanding through a level based:
- In the knowledge growth and depth allowing to form the basis for development and/or unique applications in research projects;
- In allowing applying the knowledge and the ability to understand and solve problems in new and unfamiliar situations in wide multidisciplinary situations related to their field of study;
- In providing the skills for learning throughout a autonomous and self-oriented way.
Specific objectives of the Master aim to provide:
- Personal and social education of future teachers, promoting autonomy, cooperation and participation, as well as the internalization of ethical values;
- To complete students scientific, technological and mathematical education
- That student acquires scientific training in pedagogical and didactic field;
- The progressive development of teaching skills to integrate in the exercise of pedagogical practice;
- Insure that students develop skills and attitudes for critical analysis, innovation and educational research.

About the Department of Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics is responsible for one undergraduate course (1st cycle of study) two graduate courses (2nd cycle of study) which award a master’s degree, two postgraduate courses (3rd cycle of study) which award a doctorate degree, a one year post-graduate course and other short courses. The department academic staff also cooperates in other courses of all qualification levels taught at FCT NOVA.
The scientific activity of the majority of the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics is developed at the Center for Mathematics and its Applications (CMA). Its research work covers four major areas: Algebra, Differential equations and Numerical Analysis; Operational Research, Statistics and Risk Management. CMA is integrated into the Faculty of Science and Technology of the New University of Lisbon and is financed by the Foundation for Science and Technology. In addition to the researchers of the Department of Mathematics, this center has the collaboration of many researchers belonging to several Portuguese and foreign universities. In the last evaluation that have been done by the Foundation for Science and Technology, CMA has obtained the classification of Very Good. The other members of this Department develop its scientific activity integrated in other research centers or autonomously.
