Interdisciplinary Mathematics” is a 2-Year full-time Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Mathematical Modelling and Simulation with interdisciplinary applications, with a special focus on biomedical Sciences and industrial engineering. It is run by five European Universities:
University of L’Aquila (UAQ) – Coordinating Institution
Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH)
Vienna University of Technology (TUW)
Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB)
University of Côte d’Azur in Nice (UniCA)
“InterMaths” prepares for a career in research as well as in private enterprises, in particular in industrial engineering, manufacturing, pharmaceutics, and biomedical industry. Our study-plans develop mathematical skills that are relevant to a broad range of interdisciplinary fields:
Mathematical modelling,
Scientific computing,
Control and optimization,
Stochastic modelling,
Image processing methods.
Benefits
EMJM scholarships are offered to the most talented candidates of any nationality who will be full-time enrolled in the InterMaths EMJM programme.
Students who are awarded an EMJM scholarship won’t have to pay any participation costs.
Tuition, registration and any other mandatory costs related to their participation in the course are fully waived. However, the student has to cover accommodation, living, travelling, equipment, and any other personal expenses.
Students will also receive full insurance coverage (see here for more information).
Those who have already benefited from an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) scholarship are not eligible to apply for an additional scholarship. However, they can apply for InterMaths as non-scholarship holders.
Special needs
Contribution for special needs, such as long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments certified by a competent authority, may be awarded during the duration of the programme. Therefore, candidates are invited to specify any disability in the application form.
Requirements
The application is open to students of any nationality. However, before deciding on your eligibility, we need to look through all the required documents. Therefore, if you want to be taken into consideration for our next intake, first check if you meet the minimum academic requirements, then fill in our online application form to submit all the required documents. Your application will then be evaluated along with all the others received, and a selection list will be published on this page – see below for details.
Academic Requirements
Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other similar fields with a very strong mathematical background (BS, BSc, SB, etc. or a degree at the same level of an academic Bachelor’s Degree, e.g. its equivalent from a college, university, or technical school of high standing, or 180 ECTS credits in the European system)
Language requirements
All applicants are required to prove an adequate level of English (CEFR B2 level, at least).
Applicants who have conducted their university or secondary-school studies in an English-speaking institution for one or more years will only have to verify that English is the medium of instruction in such institutions (to this purpose, you will find a dedicated section in the application form – no certificate submission is required).
