Programme

Leiden offers courses at an advanced level ranging over topics such as dynamical systems, representation theory, differential equations, percolation and pattern recognition. There is a large degree of freedom in choosing one’s own topics. Some of the courses are given at national level, in the Dutch mastermath programme. The two-year programme concludes with the preparation of a master’s thesis.
