Description
The School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences (SAMPS) of the National Technical University of Athens offers a five-year Undergraduate Study Programme (300 ECTS) leading to an Integrated Master's Degree. The programme provides a strong theoretical and applied background in applied mathematics, physics and computational sciences, emphasizing mathematical modelling, analysis and solution of complex engineering and technological problems, computational science and modern interdisciplinary applications. The curriculum includes theoretical and laboratory education, elective courses, a diploma thesis and opportunities for specialization in advanced scientific fields.
Relation to Employment
Graduates acquire a strong scientific background for careers in applied mathematics, physics, computational science, data analysis, artificial intelligence, industrial research, technological development, telecommunications, energy, financial engineering, information technology, education and research, as well as in public and private organizations requiring advanced analytical and computational expertise.
Access Requirements / Progression Opportunities
Admission is based on the Panhellenic Examinations or placement exams in accordance with current legislation. To be awarded the degree, students must successfully
complete ten semesters of study and earn 300 credit units (ECTS). The program leads to a single, continuous degree (Integrated
Master’s).
