Description: * What is MathMods?
MathMods is a two-year MSc programme (120 ECTS) within 5 European universities, providing students with a cross cultural education while getting acquainted with both theory and applications of mathematical modelling in engineering.

* Institution. The MSc course is offered by a consortium of five universities in Europe, coordinated by the:

- University of L'Aquila in Italy (UAQ) and involving other four leading institutions in Europe:
- Autonomous University of Barcelona in Catalonia (UAB),
- University of Hamburg in Germany (UHH),
- Gdansk University of Technology in Poland (GUT),
- University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis in France (UNSA).

* Aims. Mathematical modelling lies at the heart of most current technological innovations and has become a fundamental tool in many fields of engineering. Essentially multidisciplinary in its applications, mathematical modelling and simulation is in its own right a key technology which is bound to increase its presence within efficient industries and businesses. The proposed programme reflects this multidisciplinarity, drawing on the unifying mathematical aspects from the various and often separate engineering disciplines

* Language. The language of the whole course will be exclusively English at each of the five universities. Students will also have to attend a local language course during the semester they are spending in each university partner.

* Admission criteria. Applicants must have obtained a recognized Bachelor's Degree (BS, BSc, SB, etc.) or a degree at the level of a Bachelor's Degree, for instance its equivalent from a college, university, or technical school of high standing, or 180 ECTS credits in the European system in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering with a large background in Mathematics.All applicants whose native language is not English are required to prove a satisfactory level of spoken and written English, certified by TOEFL (550 points), IELTS (6.0 points) or equivalent.

* How to apply? The application to MathMods programme and the submission of all the required documents must be made online on MathMods website.

Highlights: MathMods Master's degree course will be given in four semesters. Each semester will total 30 ECTS credits. Mobility scheme will provide for at least two locations.
The first year will be common for all students. This will guarantee an equal knowledge platform for all of them. The second year will be divided into five tracks, which reflect the partners' field of excellence. Students will spend their fourth semester on preparing their Master's Thesis.

First semester: Theory (UAQ)
Second semester: Numerics (at either UNSA or UHH)
Third semester: Applications (UAB / UHH / UAQ / GUT / UNSA)
Fourth semester: Thesis (UAB / UHH / UAQ / GUT / UNSA)

Degree Level: Masters Degree

Minimum Education: Bachelor of Science

Experience Required: no

This Program is open to American, Asian, Australian, Canadian, European, Kiwi, South African and Worldwide Participants.
