MathMods is a two-year Master of Science (MSc) programme (120 ECTS) within 5 European universities, providing students with a cross cultural education while getting acquainted with both theory and applications of mathematical modelling in engineering.

MathMods Consortium is coordinated by the

• University of L'Aquila in Italy (UAQ)

and involves other four leading institutions in Europe:

• Autonomous University of Barcelona in Catalonia (UAB),
• University of Hamburg in Germany (UHH),
• Gdansk University of Technology in Poland (GUT),

The first year will be common for all students. This will guarantee an equal knowledge platform for all of them. The second year will be divided into five tracks, which reflect the partners' field of excellence. Students will spend their fourth semester on preparing their Master's Thesis.

• First semester: Theory (UAQ)
• Second semester: Numerics (at either UNSA or UHH)
• Third semester: Applications (UAB / UHH / UAQ / GUT / UNSA)
• Fourth semester: Thesis (UAB / UHH / UAQ / GUT / UNSA)

Language
The language of the whole course will be exclusively English at each of the five universities. Students will also have to attend a local language course during the semester they are spending in each university partner.
