The Masters program seeks to provide advanced training in Mathematics, to introduce students to research methods so that they can complete a thesis on a doctoral program, and to provide the necessary skills so that they can exercise their profession in positions of responsibility.

To achieve these aims, the Masters offers students the following three specialist options:
- Advanced academic
- Research
- Professional

Graduates, or those holding equivalent qualifications, in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Studies or Engineering.

Graduates in other discipline or those with a diploma qualification require the previous authorization of the Masters Coordinating Committee before registering. The Committee will evaluate the candidates' previous studies to determine their suitability for the masters program.

Students who have studied a minimum of 180 ECTS credits - provided these correspond to all the core subjects of the degree, can also be considered for admission. The candidates' previous studies will be evaluated to determine their suitability for the masters program. Should the student have obtained the 180 ECTS credits in mathematics, he or she can be admitted directly on to the program.

If the number of applications is greater than that of places available, the Coordinating Committee will select and evaluate candidates on the basis of their academic record and curriculum vitae.

Graduates in Mathematics and students with 180 ECTS credits in Mathematics. The program is also suitable for graduates in the sciences and engineering, provided they have a good grounding in mathematics.

Students who hold a maths degree corresponding to current curriculum requirements will have to obtain an additional 60 credits to be awarded the Masters.

In addition to the specific skills that this Masters program seeks to develop, the program aims to provide students with the general tools required to undertake their academic and professional activities successfully. These include the capacity for abstraction, to pose and solve problems, to enhance their ability to work in multidisciplinary environments, to provide the knowledge needed for oral and written mathematical expression, to familiarize students with the use of advanced computation tools, etc.
