Over the course of one year, you will receive extensive on-site training in mathematics, encompassing both pure mathematics and applied mathematics as well as take courses from UniCA's Mod4NeuroCog. Our main objective is to prepare you to integrate into the world of theoretical or applied mathematical research.
Through MFA, you will cultivate skills in various areas of mathematics to tackle complex phenomena found in fields such as finance, biology, and physics and specialize in one of three specific mathematical fields: Algebra and Geometry, Analysis-Scientific Computation or Probability-Statistics. Through this specialization, you will develop a profound understanding of your chosen area and gain in-depth knowledge and expertise.

Through this specialization, you will develop a profound understanding of your chosen area and gain in-depth knowledge and expertise.
By focusing on a specific mathematical field, you will be able to explore advanced topics and applications related to your research interests. With approval of your coordinator, you may also create a customized program comprising one specialization along with courses in for instance, PDEs/or stochastic processes. During your studies, you will have the option to do a 3-month research internship or pursue a thesis.
