The Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Mathematics provides a solid grounding in all areas of modern mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of physics and computer science.

Objectives

Graduates with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics are able to carry out responsible tasks in research centres, in services and in public administration, as well as in the communication of mathematics and science; they are also able to understand and use mathematical and numerical models of natural, social and economic phenomena and of technological problems, and can therefore find a place in scientific application contexts and in organisations operating in the widest range of productive and service sectors (for example in industry, healthcare, the environment, finance, public administration and, more generally, in all high-technology sectors).

Obtaining the degree

As is well known, the University is responsible not only for teaching activities but also for the assessment and evaluation of the work done by each student. The “unit of measurement” of this work is called the University Educational Credit (CFU), also simply referred to as a credit (ECTS credit). One credit conventionally corresponds to 25 hours of work (including, for example, lecture or laboratory hours and hours of individual study). To obtain the Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics, students must earn 180 credits. Each student must comply with the rules set out in the teaching regulations in force in the academic year of their enrolment. A general description of these rules is given below. All the necessary details can be found on the page dedicated to the degree programmes.

Typically, credits are obtained by attending lectures and taking exams. Each course is worth a certain number of credits, which are awarded when the exam is passed. The mark obtained in each exam contributes to the final degree mark, in proportion to the credits awarded. Most of the credits must be earned in this way; the remaining portion may also be awarded by other means.

Quality
Assurance

The quality of degree programmes is monitored both by the University, through the Evaluation Board (NdV), and by the State, through the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR). Summary data collected in the respective evaluation processes are provided below.
