Faculty of Science

The Faculty of Science is a world-class faculty where staff and students work together in a dynamic international environment. It is a faculty where personal and academic development are top priorities. Our people are driven by curiosity to expand fundamental knowledge and to look beyond the borders of their own discipline; their aim is to benefit science, and to make a contribution to addressing the major societal challenges of the future.
The research carried out at the Faculty of Science is very diverse, ranging from mathematics, information science, astronomy, physics, chemistry and bio-pharmaceutical sciences to biology and environmental sciences. The research activities are organised in eight institutes. These institutes offer eight bachelor’s and twelve master’s programmes. The faculty has grown strongly in recent years and now has more than 1,300 staff and almost 4,000 students.

The Mathematical Institute is one of the eight institutes within the Faculty of Science. The expertise of the members of the institute covers a broad range of topics, with a focus on Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory; Analysis and Dynamical Systems; Probability Theory; and Statistics. Research focuses both on fundamental mathematics and statistics and on applications in other sciences, society and industry. The Mathematical Institute participates in all four national research clusters in mathematics. More information can be found on https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/science/mathematics.

The Mathematical Institute offers bachelor and master programmes in pure and applied mathematics and a master programme in applied statistics, and contributes to the national educational programme mastermath and the international programme Algant. It also offers many courses in mathematics and statistics for other academic programmes.
There is a strong cohesion among the members of the institute, with a shared responsibility across the spectrum of mathematics.
