**NEW** Bachelor in Applied Mathematics

Exchange programs

The Erasmus programme permits UC3M first degree and post graduate students to spend one or several terms at one of the European universities with which UC3M has special agreements or take up an Erasmus Placement, that is a work placement or internship at an EU company. These exchanges are funded with Erasmus Grants which are provided by the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education.

The non-european mobility program enables UC3M degree students to study one or several terms in one of the international universities with which the university has special agreements. It also has funding from the Banco Santander and the UC3M.

These places are offered in a public competition and are awarded to students with the best academic record and who have passed the language threshold  (English, French, German etc..) requested by the university of destination.

European Mobility

The list of European universities with mobility agreements will be published soon.

Non European Mobility

The list of non-European universities with a mobility agreement will be published soon.

Entry profile

The majority of students who are admitted to this degree come from the Baccalaureate in Science and Technology, where they obtain specific training in these areas, which develops knowledge and skills and prepares students better to access to these studies. According to Spanish regulations, students must take core subjects such as: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Technical Drawing, and Technology and Engineering.

In addition to Baccalaureate students, another main access route to this Bachelor's Degree is coming from Vocational Training studies

Graduate profile

The Bachelor's Degree in Applied Mathematics combines the classical knowledge of mathematics studies with basic notions of other branches of science, with the aim of training professionals capable of integrating knowledge from different areas and who are able to apply it to relevant questions related to mathematics.

• Acquire advanced knowledge by demonstrating an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects and working methodology in the field of mathematics with a depth that reaches the cutting edge of knowledge.
• Solve applied problems demanded by society using the language and tools provided by mathematics and other related areas.
• Apply their knowledge in the field of mathematics and their problem-solving skills in complex or professional and specialised areas of work, giving creative and innovative answers by means of arguments or procedures developed and supported by acquired knowledge.
• Possess the ability to collect and interpret data and information on which to base their conclusions, including the vision and practical but rigorous thinking in the field of mathematics.
• Know how to deal with complex situations or those requiring the analysis and development of new solutions in the academic, work or professional environment.
• Know how to communicate knowledge, methodologies, ideas, problems and solutions in the field of mathematics clearly and precisely to all kinds of audiences.
• Identify their own training needs in their work or professional environment and organise their own learning with a high degree of autonomy in all types of contexts.
