The schematic study plan is applicable to students
originated from UNIMI and LUT indifferently. For each student, a detailed
study plan must be defined by the academic coordinators and registered in a
Learning Agreement avoiding redundant courses. The annual modifications
implemented in the curriculum will be notified in the students’ learning
agreement. |
Selection
of students to double degree programme:
1)
students must meet admission criteria of the Master’s
programme of both institutions
2)
students are selected to double degree option based on
their academic results, prerequisite requirements, motivation and language
skills

2 year
programme (120 ECTS), language of instruction: English.
LUT
programme Entrance admission criteria: Admission criteria to the Industrial Mathematics Master
programme are:
Students who
apply to the Master’s Degree programme and major in Technomathematics are
assumed to have a B.Sc. (180 ECTS) in applied mathematics, computer science,
information technology or engineering with sufficient background in mathematics.
The student
should master calculus, also in functions of several variables. He/she is
assumed to know basics of matrices, linear algebra, differential equations and
optimization, numerical algorithms, statistics and probability. Knowledge of discrete models, fuzzy models
and methods is of advantage. The students should have basic knowledge in
computing including data structures and some programming skills. Furthermore,
the students must have familiarity with PC work stations and basic data manipulation
tools.
It is assumed
that student has knowledge in physics covering basic phenomena in mechanics,
electricity, thermal and wave phenomena. The education is given in English,
thus good communication skills in English are necessary both orally and in
writing.
LUT degree requirements
The
minimum requirements for conferring the LUT degree are the following:
-
120
ECTS credits including supervised 30 ECTS credits Master thesis (= 90 ECTS credits +
30 ECTS credits thesis)
-
in practice at least following options are possible:
-
first year studies at LUT (autumn and spring semester,
total 60 credits) OR
-
second year studies at LUT including courses
totalizing 30 ECTS credits and supervised thesis (spring term) totalizing 30
ECTS credits
-
thesis:
-
always supervised by an LUT professor or docent,
second supervisor from UNIMI
-
the thesis will be defended at UNIMI and and submitted for faculty review process at
LUT (videoconference possible)
Students
selection to double degree program requires that student meets the application
procedures of both universities.
Student selection to double degree programme
In the student selection to the double degree programme specific criteria
will be applied in addition to the general admission requirements. Students must meet admission
criteria of the Master’s programme of both institutions. Students
are selected to double degree option based on their academic results, prerequisite
requirements, motivation and language skills. Knowledge on a field of
application, suitable minor studies, projects or work experience, specific
computer skills, motivation etc. may be counted as credit.
