Education at Mathematical Sciences

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is joint for Chalmers and University of Gothenburg, this means that our teachers, researchers and doctoral students teach and do research at both universities. For you as a student it means a larger number of courses to choose from, and you can use facilities such as libraries and study places at both universities.

Why should I study mathematics?

The demand for mathematical and statistical competence is high in many modern businesses. As a trained mathematician, it is generally easy to get a job, and the forecast says that there will be plenty of jobs for new graduates in the future as well.

As a mathematician you can work at pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, technology companies and financial institutions. State and municipal operations in traffic, environment and finance also need mathematical competence. Some technical mathematicians work with advanced mathematics in classical engineering fields such as fluid dynamics, strength, optimization theory and electromagnetism. Mathematicians play a central role in, and are in high demand for, work on artificial intelligence and machine learning.
