This programme focuses on analysis and number theory, offering specialisations in both themes. The staff participate in leading research projects and offer high-quality teaching.

The Leiden Mathematical Institute aims at excellence both in research and in education. Many well-known Dutch mathematicians were or are included in the staff and you will be studying in a leading research group. The two-year programme is tailor-made, depending on your individual background and your personal ambitions. Students who have obtained a MSc degree in mathematics possess a thorough theoretical basis, know how to work in a multinational environment, and are able to operate on the international market. Courses are taught at a high level, and each of the tracks is completed with an individual research project combined with a thesis. The Institute is partner in the Lorentz Center, an international research center for Astronomy, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics and Bio Sciences. In addition, the Institute has strong links with the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam and with EURANDOM in Eindhoven.
