Mobility

Exchange programs

The Erasmus program permits uc3m first-degree and post-graduate students to spend one or several terms at one of the European universities with which uc3m has special agreements or take up an Erasmus Placement, a work placement or internship at an EU company. These exchanges are funded with Erasmus Grants which the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education provide.

The non-European mobility program enables uc3m degree students to study one or several terms in one of the international universities with which the university has special agreements. It also has funding from the Banco Santander and the uc3m.

These places are offered in a public competition and are awarded to students with the best academic record and who have passed the language threshold (English, French, German, etc..) requested by the university of destination.

Graduates in Applied Mathematics and Computing must be able to make use of the application of mathematics in those areas of science, engineering, economy, and other social sciences where computing plays a central role with a focus on the use of algorithms, and numerical methods to model and solve real-world problems that emerge in those disciplines.

To achieve this, graduates will have a strong command of programming and software development with special attention to the implementation of computers of mathematical methods. Additionally, they will know the theoretical fundamentals of computation theory and their practical applications, including those used by programming languages compilers, and interpreters. They will also have a sound understanding of the operation of computers that will allow them to make adequate design decisions to ensure the best performance of the solutions they may conceive. They will know the main techniques in artificial intelligence and how they can be used to solve real-world problems. They will know probability, statistics, stochastic methods, and simulation methods that they will be able to use to solve problems. All these aspects will be supported by a strong base in different aspects of mathematics.

Met dit alles zullen ze de mogelijkheid hebben om hun professionele carrière uit te voeren in alle domeinen van de economische activiteit, evenals in onderzoek waar er vraag is naar professionals met een profiel van toepassing van wiskunde met een krachtig gebruik van computers als een fundamenteel hulpmiddel.

This degree, highly demanded in this industry, allows future professionals to work in all business and research and development sectors where this mixed profile combining mathematics and computer science skills is in demand.
