Mathematics (Common Entry)

About

You like mathematics and are good at it. You are interested in a career that involves Mathematics, but may also be interested in Physics or Economics.

Why study Mathematics at UL?

In UL the focus is on applied Mathematical sciences, where Mathematics and Statistics are used to solve problems that arise in science, engineering, industry, finance or society. Applied mathematical and statistical modelling is a philosophy of asking, and trying to understand, how things work. A problem or phenomenon of some sort occurs and Mathematics and Statistics are used to explain, to understand and ideally to improve it.
