The Bachelor programme aims at the acquisition of the basic knowledge and skills within the fundamental disciplines of Mathematics (Algebra, Analysis, Numerical Calculations, Geometry, Probability) in relation with their applications such as Physics, Computing and Statistics. Special attention is given to rigour in reasoning and written and oral expression, as well as to the capacities of abstraction and modelling.

The first year is in common with the bachelor programme in Physical Sciences. From the second year on, the students are encouraged to choose a minor or to complete their programme with additional options. Minors are offered in Computing Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics and Economics. The student may also choose another minor from the University programme, based on a project to be elaborated together with the study advisor.

The activities offered include theoretical courses, exercises sessions, tasks, active participation in a seminar and the written summary of a given work task.

Language courses accompany the programme and aim at the mastery of scientific English.

The bachelor's degree in Mathematical Sciences entitles automatic access to the master's of Mathematics orientated towards the domains of applications (Astronomy, Economics, Computing Science, Physics, Statistics etc.), towards research or teaching or mastery of Statistics.

The bachelor's degree likewise entitles access to certain orientations in Computing Science, Physics and Economics, provided the student has followed an appropriate minor and/or complementary study programme.
