A two-year graduate program, NU’s Master of Science in Applied Mathematics follows an advanced curriculum and engages students in rigorous coursework. These enhance their theoretical and practical knowledge in the following areas in becoming applied mathematicians: Numerical, Simulation, Statistical Analysis, Data Mining, Computational Mechanics.
The classes in this master’s degree are small for efficient student-centered learning. Therefore, enrolled individuals are afforded tailored tutoring from professors in choosing academic and career paths suited to them. Students also work directly with professors for practical laboratory and research experience.
Graduates are expected to acquire advanced mathematical, statistical, and computational skills as relevant to their subjects of their Master projects. Furthermore, they will develop skills in interdisciplinary numerical simulations, statistical computing, and computer aided design environment and will acquire a command of scientific communication skills.
The program is designed to take advantage of the faculty expertise and the computational resources of NU School of Sciences and Humanities. Graduates of the program will have advanced research skills that will enable them to make contributions in technologically diverse and dynamic economic environments, both in Kazakhstan and abroad.
