Double MSc Mathematical Engineering "RealMaths" - Mathematics for Real World Applications

"RealMaths - Mathematics for Real World Applications" is a set of 2-year Double Degree programs in Applied Mathematics with a focus on scientific computing and applications. Students spend one year at the University of L’Aquila and one year in one of the partner institutions.

Our specializations include modern applications in material science or socio-economical sciences, as well as innovative methodologies in high-performance computing and data analysis.

Join the RealMaths Double MSc Degree program and gain a double MSc degree in Applied Mathematics from two of our partner universities.

The program starts every September and is structured in 2 academic years, each of which is studied in a different country.

The current program structure involves spending Year 1 in L'Aquila (Italy) and Year 2 in one of the other partner universities in Canada, Czechia, Poland, Portugal, and Sweden .

For the second year, our scientific committee will decide who goes where. The committee will do their best to reach a compromise between the choices made by each student in their application and the need for allocating a balanced number of students to each partner university.

The InterMaths program assures the smooth credit transfer between partner universities and the awarding of a double MSc degree after earning 120 ECTS credits from a given list of courses all taught in English.

Established in 1952 and ideally located in central Italy (L'Aquila being only 110 km away from Rome), our University is a public teaching and research institution offering a full range of academic programmes including biotechnologies, sciences, economics, engineering, education, humanities, medicine, psychology, and sport sciences. With 7 faculties, the University of L'Aquila offers its over 19,000 enrolled students 69 degree courses across the disciplines (both at undergraduate and postgraduate level, including international MSc courses entirely taught in English), 9 research doctorate programs, specialization schools, specializing-master courses, and vocational courses. Many members of its distinguished faculty of about 600 professors and researchers have received international recognition and are considered leaders in their fields of research.

Faculties

Our faculties promote, coordinate, and organize research activities for one or more sectors or scientific-disciplinary areas sharing the same objectives or research methodologies and promote, organize and carry out academic teaching within our University. The Faculties of the University of L'Aquila are the following: **Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences | Civil, Construction-Architectural, and Environmental Engineering | Human Studies | Industrial and Information Engineering and Economics | Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics | Life, Health and Environmental Sciences | Physical and Chemical Sciences.

Other research structures

The University of L'Aquila has three centres of excellence (CETEMPS, DEWS, EX-EMERGE) and four research centres (CERFIS, CITRAMS, DMTA, M&MOCS). The University of L'Aquila is also responsible for running the Alpine Botanical Garden situated near the cableway on the Gran Sasso, which extends for 3000 sq metres and conserves plant life from the Gran Sasso, endemic central Apennine plant life, primitive alpine plants, plants originating from the Eastern Balkans and medicinal plants.

Research and teaching in Physics benefit from its associations with the underground nuclear physics Gran Sasso National Laboratory (INFIN - LNGS). There in the 1980s the National Institute for Nuclear Physics built beside the motorway tunnel through the Gran Sasso laboratories, where, protected by 1400 metres of rock, research in astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics and geophysics is carried out.

Professors and researchers of the University of L’Aquila have established links with the Gran Sasso Science Institute , an international PhD school and a center for advanced studies in physics, mathematics, computer science and social sciences located in L’Aquila.
