| Description/content | Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory (MSc) The Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory master's specialisation bridges the gap between theory and the world of algorithms and applications. The courses are directly related to our research. Part of • Mathematics (MSc) What does this master’s programme entail? The Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory master's specialisation focuses on number theory in the broadest sense, ranging from discrete dynamical systems to arithmetic geometry and motives. There is a strong emphasis on algebraic methods and a direct interest in the computational aspects of the theory. The programme also has a cryptology component. Leiden offers courses at an advanced level ranging over topics such as algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry and cryptology. About the programme The Mathematics and Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory specialisation programme consists of 120 European Credit Transfer System (EC) points and includes a research project (40 EC), advanced courses (min 60 EC) and electives (maximum 20 EC). 30 EC are to be taken from the Dutch national Mastermath programme. Programme overview For each student, a programme will be tailored individually. It consists of a choice of advanced courses (at least 60 EC) from algebra, algebraic and analytic number theory, cryptology, and algebraic and differential geometry; a research project (at least 40 EC) and a free choice of courses from any field (maximum 20 EC); required is a total of at least 120 EC. |

| Accommodation | Yes |

| Accommodation Details | Like many universities in the Netherlands, Leiden University does not have a central campus or student dormitories. Instead, our faculties are spread throughout the cities of Leiden and The Hague and students live in accommodation rented via housing organisations and landlords. In general, students are expected to arrange their own housing. However, for international students, Leiden University Housing Office reserves a limited number of rooms each year for early applicants. The number of housing applications always greatly exceeds the number of reserved rooms. We therefore strongly recommend that prospective students also explore alternative ways of finding accommodation well before arriving in the Netherlands.For more details please check here*https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/education/international-students/prepare-your-stay/housing |
