University of Turin

What you'll study

This three-year programme builds mathematical knowledge progressively from core foundations to specialised topics. Year one typically focuses on mathematical analysis, linear algebra, introductory geometry, calculus, basic probability and programming for mathematics to establish essential tools.

In later years students study advanced mathematical analysis, abstract algebra, differential equations, topology, numerical analysis and probability and statistics. Options allow specialisation in areas such as mathematical modelling, applied mathematics, optimisation, logic and foundations, geometry and computational mathematics. Practical training includes problem classes, laboratory work with mathematical software, seminars and a final undergraduate project or dissertation.

• Foundations: calculus, linear algebra, introductory proof techniques
• Core: real and complex analysis, algebra, differential equations, topology
• Applied and computational: numerical methods, scientific computing, mathematical modelling, probability and statistics
• Electives and seminars: optimisation, stochastic processes, logic, geometry, specialised topics offered by research staff
• Final project: supervised dissertation or applied project and possible internship placements

Entry requirements

Applicants need a recognised secondary-school diploma with a strong mathematics background. Entry typically requires evidence of competence in mathematics through high-school transcripts and, for some applicants, an institutional admissions test (for example the TOLC-M or a comparable assessment) that evaluates mathematical reasoning and problem-solving.

Courses are primarily delivered in Italian, so proficiency in Italian is normally required; some modules and resources are available in English and international applicants may follow language-specific admission procedures. International students must present an accepted secondary qualification and meet any visa or residence requirements. Additional screening such as an interview or review of the applicant's curriculum may be used for borderline cases.

Career prospects

Graduates with a bachelor's in Mathematics go on to a range of careers or further study. Common next steps include master's degrees in mathematics, statistics, data science, actuarial science, finance or related fields, and research tracks leading to PhD programmes.

• Data analyst, data scientist and roles in machine learning or AI
• Quantitative roles in finance and actuarial professions
• Software development and numerical computing
• Research and development in public and private research centres
• Teaching and education (often combined with a teaching qualification)
• Careers in public administration, consulting and technical roles that require strong analytical skills
