Mathematics is the universal language that describes the real world, models complex phenomena and drives innovation in every field, from science to technology, from finance to artificial intelligence. The Department of Mathematics, recognised as a Department of Excellence for the five-year period 2023-2027 by the Ministry of University and Research, develops intensive and advanced research activities in a wide spectrum of interests. With a Master's Degree in Mathematics in Genoa you will acquire: Advanced skills in the analysis, modelling and solving of real problems State-of-the-art tools for working with data, algorithms and complex systems Professional flexibility in high-impact sectors: research, finance, technology, artificial intelligence, biomedical and beyond Why choose this pathway? Diversified outlets: consulting, data science, research, teaching, industry Training for excellence to meet the challenges of the future International opportunities in universities and research centres Watch the video of the presentation. What will you study The Master's degree course in Mathematics provides a solid and in-depth background on general topics in this discipline and in the Department's leading areas. The course is divided into three curricula: Dissemination and Didactics of Mathematics The field of Dissemination and Didactics of Mathematics includes the study of teaching methodologies, epistemological aspects of mathematics and its historical evolution, preparing to play an active role in scientific communication, teaching and the enhancement of mathematical culture in society.

Applied mathematics The Applied Mathematics specialism aims at the acquisition of mathematical tools for the modelling of real phenomena. In addition to a solid theoretical foundation, advanced skills in numerical calculation, computational analysis and the use of specialised software are provided, necessary for solving complex problems in interdisciplinary contexts.

Every year at the end of May the Master's degree presentation takes place, in which the structure of the degree course and the content of the courses offered are explained. You can also consult the Planned Teaching and the Guide to the degree. The graduate Who is it? The Master's degree in Mathematics is a specialised figure with solid technical, analytical and transversal skills, capable of tackling complex problems, modelling, phenomena and working in academic, scientific and technological fields. What does he/she do? The professional outlets are in the fields of: research in universities, research and development organisations or centres companies requiring abstraction, modelling and solving of complex problems teaching in public or private schools scientific dissemination Where? Sectors of employment for Master's graduates in Mathematics are: Banking and insurance, stock exchanges and markets ICT demographic services transport and logistics medicine and biomedicine scientific communication, publishing environment and meteorology. Graduates are in a position to enter any position in the world of work, even high-profile ones, because they have excellent skills: devise strategies to deal with the most diverse problems take on functions of high responsibility in public or private workplaces with the purpose of research or scientific dissemination. to assume scientific and organisational responsibilities in educational institutions and in environments related to popularisation.
