Master of Science [M.S] [Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science] From Radboud University

The computer science courses concentrate on formal methods, type theory, category theory, coalgebra and theorem proving.

Not only is this Master?s an excellent stepping-stone for students with ambitions in research, many of our graduates also work as systems builders, ICT specialists or ICT managers in the private sector or within government.

• This specialisation has a unique theoretical and abstract focus that unites mathematics and computer science. You?ll take classes with mathematics and computer science students and thus become a scientist that can combine knowledge of both these fields.

• A majority of the courses are electives giving you the choice of how a strong an emphasis you want to place on mathematical or on computer science aspects.

• You can take part in the?Mastermath programme, meaning you can follow advanced mathematics courses pooled by all Dutch universities.

• Teaching takes place in a stimulating, collegial setting with small groups. This ensures that at Radboud University you?ll get plenty of one-on-one time with your thesis advisor.

• The job opportunities are excellent: some of our students get offered jobs before they?ve even graduated and almost all of our graduates have positions within six months after graduating.

• Thanks to free electives students can branch out to other Computing Science or Mathematics domains at Radboud University and study with outstanding professors in those fields.

As this specialisation lies in the overlap of mathematics and computer science, you?ll have the advantage of being able to strive for jobs in either field. Thus, our graduates have no difficulty in finding an interesting and challenging job. You can think of the following job functions:

• Consultant for firms

• ICT developer / software developer

• ICT manager in the private sector or within government

• Researcher, at research centres or within corporations

• PhD candidate

• Entrepreneur; starting up your own consultancy or software development company

• Teacher, at all levels from middle school to university
