About the programme

The M.Sc. Mathematics at the University of Münster is a two-year, research-oriented programme with a focus on in-depth study across pure and applied mathematics. You have a lot of freedom to choose courses from the focus areas: geometry and analysis on manifolds, topology, operator algebras and non-commutative geometry, algebra, applied analysis, numerics and scientific computing, probability theory and applications, and mathematical logic. This lets you design a curriculum that fits your plans, whether a PhD in mathematics or a career in the private or public sector. There are small courses, direct contact with professors and student learning groups, as well as study and mobility funds and social events to help you settle in. The programme is taught in English and starts in winter or summer.
