Name: Mathematics

Type: University Programme

Duration: BSc: 3 years. MSc: 2 years

European transfer credits: BSc: 180 ECTS. MSc: 120 ECTS

In the programme, you will learn to think logically and abstractly with the help of mathematical methods and terminology. The programme will give you the qualifications to solve various types of problems.

Technological developments and the invention of computers and the mobile telephone would not have been possible without mathematics. With the help of mathematics, you can develop a computer programme or calculate how much the Earth curves, even by simply measuring only a short distance of the Earth's surface.

Mathematics can be applied to solve problems in many other subjects, including physics, data technology, economics or astronomy.

In the programme, you will have courses in such as:

Advanced Linear Algebra
Mathematical Analysis
Fundamental Mathematical Structures
Geometry
Probability Calculations and Statistics

Teaching varies between project work in groups, lectures and classroom instruction. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions. At Roskilde University, problem-oriented project work makes up about half of the study. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

If you choose to complete the bachelor's degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Bachelor of Science (BSc). Graduation from the master's degree programme confers the title Master of Science (MSc).

Entry Requirements

The general admission requirements for international students include one of the following international certificates: the Danish/French Baccalauréat (DFB), the European Baccalaureate (EB), the International Baccalaureate (IB), the Option Internationale du Baccalauréat (OIB) or another foreign qualifying examination certificate that can be equated with a Danish upper secondary school leaving certificate.

In addition, documentation may be required verifying your proficiency in English is at a specified level.

To be admitted to an MSc programme, you must have a bachelor degree in a relevant subject.

Contact the educational institution you wish to apply to for detailed information on entry requirements and required English proficiency levels.

To find out how you can get your foreign certificate assessed for recognition here in Denmark, see the Danish Agency for International Education.

Admission

The application deadline is March 15 for a course start in September. Admission is handled through The Danish Coordinated Application System. You can apply via optagelse.dk.

A few educational institutions offer a course start in February, where applications are sent directly to the institution. Contact the educational institution for detailed information on application deadlines.

The application deadline for MSc programmes varies according to the educational institution. Contact the individual institution for further information regarding its application deadline and forms. Apply directly at the university.

Exchange students should contact their home institution for information on application procedures and deadlines.

Tuition

There is a tuition fee for all full-time degree students, unless you are a student from a Nordic or EU country, or from Liechtenstein.

Students within an exchange programme are not required to pay tuition.

Contact the individual institution for more specific information.

Semester Start

An academic year is made up of two semesters, which begin around September 1 and February 1.

Educational Institutions

You can study Mathematics in Copenhagen and in Roskilde.

University of Copenhagen

At the University of Copenhagen Mathematics can be studied as a:

2-year MSc programme (120 ECTS)

You also have the possibility to take single courses or subjects within the programme.

Roskilde University

At Roskilde University you can study Mathematics for 6 months (30 ECTS) as part of a 3-year BSc programme.

One of the Basic Studies at Roskilde University, normally the International Basic Studies in Natural Science, constitutes the first two years of the bachelor’s degree programme

You also have the possibility to take single courses or subjects within the programme.
