About

At the Department of Mathematics at  Aarhus University there are several directions of research; either in pure mathematics, stochastics or science studies. These encompass theoretical aspects as well as investigations of interest in other fields of science, such as for example physics, coding theory, computer science, and mathematical finance.

Overview

There are collaborations with other sciences and practical work in connection with medical and engineering problems, such as wind power.

Examples of employment after graduation of Mathematics at  Aarhus University

The employment of PhDs takes place in a wide range of positions, such as statistical and medical companies, the wind turbine industry, financial institutions, research or teaching.
