Applied Mathematical Sciences
The School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences (NTUA), acting as the coordinating unit, together with the Department of Mathematics and the Schools of Mechanical Engineering and Naval & Marine Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), organize and operate this Interdepartmental Postgraduate Programme, which leads to the award of a Postgraduate Diploma of Specialization (M.Sc.) entitled:
“Applied Mathematical Sciences”
Programme Director
Nikolaos Giannakakis,
Professor, NTUA
In addition, independent teaching staff and researchers from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (NTUA), as well as from other universities, also participate.
Structure of the MSc Programme
The MSc programme includes five (5) specializations (streams). Each stream aims to develop high-level scientists and researchers capable of working in Research Centers, International Organizations, Greek and foreign Universities, businesses, and industry.
The variety and quality of the courses offered per stream, along with their well-structured content and organization, allow for numerous combinations and choices, covering nearly every possible academic or professional interest of the student.
Postgraduate students who choose this stream are trained in the concepts and methods of modern Analysis and Differential Equations (Ordinary and Partial).
They acquire a broad and deep foundation for the formulation, study, and solution of a wide range of problems in Technology and Applications.
Students gain the skills and knowledge needed to apply the methods of Analysis and Differential Equations in depth, particularly in the Applied Physical and Technological Sciences.
The goal of this stream is to provide high-level training in computational mathematics and in the use of large-scale scientific computations in Technology and Applications.
The main mathematical tools taught derive from Numerical Analysis, Scientific Computation, Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematical Analysis.
Special emphasis is placed on the use of suitable computational tools in mathematical modelling and in the analysis of problems arising from Technology and Applications.
Stochastic Mathematics occupies a central role in mathematical modelling and in addressing modern complex problems.
This stream aims to teach students techniques of stochastic modelling, analysis, and simulation.
It consists of two complementary groups of courses focusing on Probability Theory, Stochastic Analysis, and their applications in the Physical Sciences and Finance.
The aim of this stream is to provide advanced training in the mathematical foundations of Computer Science.
The mathematical aspect of Computer Science is a significant methodological tool for numerous international applications in technology and computation.
In this stream, students gain both introductory and advanced knowledge in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology.
They acquire the necessary background to apply these fields to interdisciplinary problems and explore their applications in mathematics and other sciences.
Admission Process & Participation Requirements
Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, or a related scientific field, with a minimum grade of “Good” (6.5/10).
Applications must be completed and submitted through the NTUA’s online platform, accompanied by the full set of required documentation and supporting materials.
The candidate’s application file is evaluated by the Admission Committee, followed by an oral examination for those who pass the first stage of the evaluation.
