Structure of the Degree
The Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics by the University of Almeria is organised in eight semesters, each one has 30 ECTS and its structure is the following one.
The Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics is composed of 15 modules:
- Module 1. Mathematics (48 ECTS).
- Module 2. Information Technology and Theory (24 ECTS).
- Module 3. Physics and Astronomy (18 ECTS).
- Module 4. Mathematical Analysis (30 ECTS).
- Module 5. Algebraic Structures and Discrete Mathematics (18 ECTS).
- Module 6. Geometry and Topology (30 ECTS).
- Module 7. Differential Equations (12 ECTS).
- Module 8. Probability and Statistics (12 ECTS).
- Module 9. Numerical Methods (12 ECTS).
- Module 10. Optimization and Modelling (12 ECTS).
- Module 11. Equations in Partial Derivatives and Numerical Simulation (12 ECTS).
- Module 12. Applied Statistics (18 ECTS).
- Module 13. Internships (12 ECTS).
- Module 14. Bachelor's Dissertation (12 ECTS).
The subjects of the last module are compulsory subjects of the Curriculum of the bachelor's degree in Finance and Accountancy of the University of Almeria. They shall be financed by this bachelor's degree (the students of the bachelor's degree in Mathematics would take them together with the students of the bachelor's degree in Finance and Accountancy).
- Module 15. Finance (30 ECTS).
The two first subjects correspond with the second semester of the second year of the bachelor's degree in Finance and Accountancy. The third, to the first semester of the third year. The fourth, to the second semester of the third year. And the last, to the first semester of fourth year.
B) Mentions of the bachelor's degree.
Three mentions have been established in the bachelor's degree (THEY ARE NOT COMPULSORY: the bachelor's degree can be obtained without obtaining any mention), depending on the elective subjects that students take, these can orient the students in accordance with the professional trajectory they wish to follow once they finish their studies.
The three mentions that can be achieved in this bachelor's degree are:
1st) “Mathematical Engineering”. To achieve this mention, students must have successfully passed the following subjects or have recognised the credits corresponding to such subjects:
- Algebra applied to information theory.
- Astronomy.
- Numerical Simulation.
- Two of the three subjects of module 12 (Applied Statistics).
2nd) “Fundamental Mathematics”. To achieve this mention, students must have successfully passed the following subjects or have recognised the credits corresponding to such subjects:
- Algebra and Number Theory.
- Fractals and Chaos.
- Global Geometry of Surfaces.
- Popular Mathematics.
- One subject among the five following ones: Algebra applied to Information Theory, Numerical Simulation and the three subjects of Module 12 (Applied Statistics).
3rd) “Mathematics and Finance”. To achieve this mention, students must have successfully passed the following subjects or have recognised the credits corresponding to five out of the seven following subjects:
- The five subjects of the module 15 (Finance).
- Data Analysis.
- Statistical Methods for Big Data.
It is not required to obtain the mention that the bachelor's dissertation has to be done about an specific subject of the mention, but it is recommended that students choose, among the work subjects offered, one that strengthens the mention chosen.
C) Time planning distribution of the subjects in the different bachelor's degree semesters. In the following chart, the time planning distribution of the subjects can be seen, and also the type of subject and the number of ECTS credits of each one. All the subjects are compulsory, except those that appear in red.
