Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory
ALGANT Master
The ALGANT Master is a two-year master programme in pure mathematics, with a strong emphasis on algebra, geometry and number theory.
The ALGANT Master is offered since September 2005, and as of 2016 involves the partner universities of Bordeaux (France), Chennai (India), Duisburg-Essen (Germany), Milano (Italy), Concordia (Montréal, Canada), Padova (Italy), Paris-Sud (France), Regensburg (Germany) and Stellenbosch (South Africa).
Every student participating in the ALGANT Master studies one year each in two of the partner universities. At the end of the second year, the student defends a master thesis and is awarded the ALGANT master diploma in an ALGANT Graduation Ceremony.
Courses
The following courses are recommended for ALGANT students in Leiden. Some of these courses have a major overlap, or treat the same topic but on different levels. Do consult your tutor or Leiden staff members to find out which combinations of courses are appropriate. Your programme needs to be approved by the Leiden ALGANT directors Edixhoven and Stevenhagen in the first weeks of September.
