The mathematics behind these questions is dealt within your Master's degree programme.
Mathematics in Groningen consists of a group of 20 internationally acclaimed mathematical researchers. Besides the well-known dynamical systems group, the mathematics department also has a very strong algebra & geometry and statistics & probability profile. During your 2-year Master programme you will be embedded in the research groups of your choice.
During the Master's degree in Mathematics we will teach you the mathematical knowledge, skills and attitude needed to pursue a professional or research career. You will gain specialised mathematical knowledge in selected areas such as algebra and geometry, dynamical systems and analysis, and statistics & probability theory.
Furthermore, you will learn how to solve a problem by using abstraction and modelling and to find scientific literature on the subject. You will be able to determine whether the problem can be solved by using existing mathematical theory or whether new theory should be developed. Finally, you will learn how to present mathematical results in written and oral form, for both specialised and general audiences.
The Master's degree programme in Mathematics offers three tracks:
- Mathematics and Complex Dynamical Systems:
This Master track concerns algebra, geometry, analysis, dynamical systems theory and mathematical physics. - Statistics and Big Data:
In this Master track the focus is on modern developments in statistical inference, such as high-dimensional inference and statistical network modelling, as well as data science, such as machine learning and neural networks. - Science, Business and Policy

Studieprogramma
tracks
track Mathematics and Complex Dynamical Systems
Do you want to deepen your knowledge in pure mathematics?
And, are you interested in the science of complexity and how a dynamical systems point of view gives the tools to understand complex phenomena? In this specialization you will learn how to model and qualitatively analyse the dynamics of complex systems; how to describe the geometry of high-dimensional spaces and study their properties; and how advanced mathematics applies in the study of problems in physics, chemistry, and biology.
More information about the research questions that motivate the topics in this specialization can be found at the webpages of the following research groups:
- Algebra
- Dynamical Systems, Geometry and Mathematical Physics
For the complete curriculum, please see: https://www.rug.nl/ocasys/rug/vak/showpos?opleiding=6382
track Statistics and Big Data
Are you fascinated by probabilities? And do you want to apply this fascination to prediction problems, to network modelling and other modern data science problems?
In this specialization you will study the fundamentals of statistical inference, such as asymptotic statistics, but also the contemporary developments in the field on the boundary of statistics and data science, with an eye on applications, such as sociology and biology. You will also learn how to deal with practical problems, team work other transferable skills in a statistical consulting course.
For the complete curriculum, please see: https://www.rug.nl/ocasys/rug/vak/showpos?opleiding=6384
track Science, Business & Policy
Interested in the business side of science? You can combine one of the above tracks with the Science Business & Policy profile. The SBP profile includes a six-month internship as a scientific advisor.

Sufficient English proficiency on VWO level is required.
vooropleiding
A Dutch bachelor's degree in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics gives direct acces. In case of other bachelor's or master's degrees, the board of admission will decide if you meet the admission requirements in terms of general level of previous education and specific background knowledge. A special pre-master programme is available for holders of a relevant Dutch HBO Bachelor's degree. In case you have a Dutch bachelor's degree in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics which is not obtained at the University of Groningen, or a relevant Dutch HBO bachelor's degree, please contact the academic advisor.

What our students think
Stijn de Vos
werkzaam als PhD student with the UMCG's psychiatry department bij University Medical Center GroningenFind out more about depression
'I am exploring statistical models that we can use to find out more about depression, together with other experts such as physicians, psychologists and epidemiologists. This makes the work pleasantly varied.During my Master’s programme I specialized in probability and statistics, which is obviously very useful for this job. Thanks to my mathematical background, I learn new techniques easily. What you don’t learn in Mathematics are skills such as meeting and communicating with other scientists...
I was a member of a study association and a student association, where I learnt organizational skills, and also enjoyed the social side of student life. This was very important for my personal development and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!’Stijn de Vos - PhD student with the UMCG's psychiatry department
