The Master's Degree in Mathematics represents the natural continuation of the three-year course in Mathematics, providing advanced training in the fundamental and applicative aspects of modern mathematics and delving into the main fields of the discipline, particularly those subject to intense research activity at the Department of Mathematics, recognised as Department of Excellence for the five-year period 2023-2027 by the Ministry of University and Research.

The course of study is divided into three branches:

• .

  Divulgation and Didactics of Mathematics: includes the study of didactic 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: aims at the acquisition of mathematical tools for the modelling of real phenomena. In addition to a sound 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.  

• .

  General Mathematics: provides a solid theoretical education, characterised by advanced knowledge and a profound understanding of fundamental mathematical structures,  developing the ability to elaborate rigorous demonstrations and refining skills in abstraction and formalisation, essential elements for pure research and in-depth study of the discipline.  

These pathways allow students to build a personalised study plan, in line with their own scientific interests and professional goals.

The broad and articulated didactic offer enables the acquisition of advanced theoretical knowledge, methodological skills and application tools, providing a solid basis for the mathematical modelling of complex phenomena, the use of state-of-the-art computational techniques, the use of mathematics in interdisciplinary contexts. In addition, specific teachings are dedicated to mathematics didactics and science dissemination, offering an adequate preparation for teaching in secondary schools and the promotion of mathematical culture in society.

.

The stimulating and scientifically qualified training environment enables the development of high-level mathematical skills, essential for meeting the challenges of contemporary research and contributing significantly to scientific, technological and educational innovation.

A structured teaching activity, comprising lectures, tutorials and workshops (often carried out in groups), stimulates active learning and a thorough understanding of the discipline.

Lectures, tutorials and workshops take place in person in classrooms in the Valletta Puggia complex, in via Dodecaneso 35 a Genova.

The degree in Mathematics provides access to numerous professional fields, such as industry, finance, technology, environment and health, as well as in public administration and services, where the analytical, modelling and computational skills acquired during the course of study enable you to tackle complex problems in multidisciplinary contexts. In addition, the course of study provides a solid basis for continuing education with third level studies such as the PhD in Italy or abroad, allows access to training courses for secondary teaching and prepares for the activity of scientific dissemination. 

.

As shown by the Almalaurea data, the degree of satisfaction with the Mathematics study course and the employment situation after graduation are excellent.
