Applied Mathematics
Are you good at mathematics and eager to use mathematical insights to help solve practical problems? Do you see yourself as the kind of mathematician who can formulate clear answers to complex societal challenges, for example in the field of the environment, (air) traffic flows, economy, care optimisation, or technology? Are you looking for a small-scale, academic programme, in which you will penetrate the depths of mathematics, while also equipping yourself to use your knowledge for developing real solutions for people and society? Then the three-year, English-taught Bachelor’s in Applied Mathematics (AM) is the right choice for you.
From day one you will engage in the abstract and formal aspects of mathematics, always keeping in mind its practical applicability. You will become familiar with calculus, linear algebra, probability and much more. At the same time, you will engage in applying the theory. One way of doing this is modelling: using abstraction to reduce complex problems to their essence, as described in mathematical terms, and then using mathematical analysis to identify solutions to the original problem. Modelling requires skills that you will gradually develop through the different learning lines that run through the programme. These learning lines include abstract mathematics, mathematical modelling and practical skills – think of programming, (intercultural) collaboration or presentation.
You will become a mathematician who has mastered to perfection the cycle of abstraction, analysis and solution, and who can easily participate in interdisciplinary teams. This means you will be able to make a substantial contribution to solving tough societal problems.
- Pažymių išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs mokyklos, būtina prisegti pažymių išrašą. Smulkesnę informaciją kaip pildyti išrašą ir kada jis reikalingas, rasi čia.
- Brandos atestatas – jei jau esi baigęs mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Brandos atestatą.
Pastaba!
- CV - stojant į visas bakalauro programas reikia pateikti savo CV.
- Motyvacinis laiškas yra NEprivalomas dokumentas stojant į šio universiteto programas, išskyrus:
- Advanced Technology
- Chemical Science and Engineering
- Creative Technology
- Technology and Liberal Arts & Sciences (Atlas University College)
- Vienas iš stojimo etapų į University of Twente yra Matching/Selection procedure (reikės atlikti papildomas užduotis-dažniasiai klausimynas).
Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:
- turėti anglų kalbos pažymį Brandos atestate ir išlaikyti Anglų kalbos valstybinį egzaminą ne mažiau kaip 36 balais.
arba
- išlaikyti IELTS arba TOEFL testą.
*Jeigu nori pasitikrinti ar tavo anglų kalbos žinios yra pakankamos studijuoti Nyderlandų aukštosiose – suteikiame galimybę laikyti Oxford anglų kalbos testą. Nors anglų kalbos testas nėra reikalaujamas, patartina žinoti savo galimybes ir kalbos lygį.
Stojant į į University of Twente programas būtina laikyti ne mažiau kaip 3 valstybinius egzaminus.
Stojant į Applied Mathematics programą būtina:
- Matematiką - mokytis aukštesniuoju (A) lygiu ir išlaikyti valstybinį egzaminą ne mažiau 16 balų.
- Likę, 2 būtini valstybiniai egzaminai pasirinktinai (vienas iš 2 gali būti anglų kalbos egzaminas).
Visi, kurie dar nėra pabaigę mokyklos ir į šį universitetą stoja besimokydami 12 klasėje, kartu su pažymių išrašu privalo prisegti ir dokumentą, kuriame būtų nurodyti planuojami laikyti brandos egzaminai. Dokumentą užtenka patvirtinti savo parašu. Egzaminų formą rasi ČIA.
The Bachelor's programme Applied Mathematics prepares you to work in project teams for various employers. As automation steadily increases, the business world is being 'mathematized' and mathematical models are becoming standard in many other areas of research. Your ability to order, analyze and translate practical problems into mathematical models, along with your focus on practical application, will make you an asset to many companies. With Applied Mathematics you will quickly find a good job.
Masters of Applied Mathematics are broadly employable in the science world and have a wide choice of possible employers. Think sustainability, environment, education, security, logistics, banking and insurance or the medical world. The job possibilities are excellent.
WHERE DO (OUR) GRADUATES WORK?
CONSULTANCY AGENCIES
Many applied mathematics specialists work at consultancy agencies dealing with logistical challenges. For example, ambulance services need their vehicles to arrive at their destination as quickly as possible. Logistical mathematics offers solutions by taking into account numerous criteria, such as the road, traffic density, ambulance availability and financial means.
RESEARCH INSTITUTES
Are you interested in scientific research? If you are, you can pursue a career in this direction at companies such as TNO and MARIN, but also at the university, of course. The department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente researches warning models for tsunamis, the rate of dune growth and erosion, plankton growth in lakes, the water levels in the Western Scheldt and tidal predictions as well as conducting research in the medical field, among other things.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
As an applied mathematician you can also work in research and development. Master's graduates from the University of Twente work at companies like the National Aerospace Laboratory and TNO (Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research). There they research a combination of effective numerical techniques and mathematical models and make it possible to calculate extremely complex air flows around aircraft wings, contributing to the design of energy-efficient wings and aerodynamic helicopter rotors that produce less noise, for instance.
