Testimonials

I associate these studies with infinity as it is not only a mathematical term but also the number of paths that open up after completing Applied Mathematics. I can apply my mathematical knowledge to all sorts of tasks in other fields, which sometimes at first sight seem not related to mathematics at all. The most memorable thing about my studies was the connection I noticed between my job and my studies – there were days when I would see the knowledge I was using at work in lectures, and at other times – the opposite.

I chose to do a master’s to further my knowledge in this field before starting work, and I also had the support of my parents. The most memorable part of my studies was working in the Nonlinear Systems Research Group, which helped me grow as a professional and as a person. My master’s studies led me to choose an academic path – I am now studying for my PhD and I am very happy with this decision.
