The programme

Applied mathematics: solving practical problems through modelling, in fields such as numerical analysis, optimisation, probability and statistics, and financial mathematics. Taught in Dutch, though all study material is in English. Five semesters are fixed and include group projects; one semester is a free minor. Double bachelor's with Applied Physics, and an Excellence Programme.

Rank in mathematics
Where Technische Universiteit Delft ranks in world subject rankings. Lower is better. A subject ranking rates the university’s work in a subject across all its faculties, not one department or this programme, so every programme there in the subject shares it. Under each list, what it mostly rests on. The colour shows where the university stands among the other universities on this site, not among all universities in the world: green ahead of most, red behind most. The combined score averages those standings over the lists: 10 is ahead of all of them in every list, 1 behind all. So it compares only the universities on this site, and can change as more are added. Rankings mostly measure research, not teaching.
