MathMods is a two-year, 120-ECTS joint master’s in mathematical modelling for engineering, taught in English by five European universities and coordinated by the University of L’Aquila.
Students spend Semester 1 in L’Aquila and Semester 2 in Germany, then take a Year-2 track and write the thesis at one partner: L’Aquila, Hamburg, Hannover, Nice or Granada. Graduates receive a joint or double degree. The 2026 call is closed; no date for the next call is posted yet.
