If you are you planning to undertake a course related to mathematics or to do an internship, keep reading! Who knows… in this article, you may find the course you are looking for!
Throughout this article I will be your guide, I will be recommending you the best destinations– university to be clear- that offer worthy and reputable programmes related to mathematics.
Want to join me on this journey?
So…Let’s start!
Best universities to study Mathematics
First destination… a country characterized by being one the best world’s weather and healthiest gastronomy, Spain. There, the two most prestigious universities, Universitat Pompeu Fabra – UPF and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid- UCM offer undergraduate courses specialized in Mathematical Engineering in Data Science!
Let’s go to the North of Europe… In Zürich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) is ranked 8 out of the Top 10 Universities for Mathematics in the World. Since 1855, this university of science and technology has been a centre of knowledge and innovation.
Moreover, in the Netherlands, the Tilburg University offers very concrete and exchange courses if you interested to undertake an internship.
Now, we will cross the Atlantic Ocean in the direction of Latin-America. The first stop will be at the Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) is a Venezuelan university located in Caracas. It has the academic leading nation-wide role, being ranked as 5th in the 2018 Venezuelan University Ranking.
However, if you have always wished to live for a short period of time in Mexico, as an international student at the Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) you can take courses given in Spanish or in English from any of the available academic areas -there are 60 regular university courses all taught in English-. Nonetheless, it’s always a plus if you have some background in Spanish as you will have a range of possibilities for coursing the course you prefer!
Now we will cross the Mexican border to the United States. The college of Georgia Gwinnett College – GGC in Lawrenceville, offers a pretty attractive Bachelor of Science: Mathematics course!
Last but not least, if you would like to undertake an online course, and have a proficiency level in Spanish-it is always a plus-, I strongly recommend you to take a look at the Engineering Bachelor’s Degree courses that the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) offers you!
Don´t hate Math
Added to the universities courses that I have previously suggested to you, I would like to recommend you helpful YouTube channels and online resources to get better at mathematics:
Khan Academy
It’s a free educational resource with tutorials on all sorts of subjects. Their mission is to provide a world-class education for anyone, anywhere. I’m sure that their math videos – on algebra, statistics, linear algebra, and much more-, will help you to find a playlist that works for you.
Mathademics
Another channel that offers math tutorials on topics such as fractions and decimals, algebra and functions, number sense, arithmetic, geometry and more.
Tecmath
Provides visual methods to make maths easier!
Don’t memorise
An online library of Mathematics and Science videos. Their explanations are the simplest way to understand a topic while hoping to get you excited about learning and knowing more.
Khan Academy Probability and Statistics
In this channel, you will learn a lot about independent events, dependent probability, combinatorics, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, regression, and inferential statistics. So buckle up and hop on for a wild ride.
Are you willing to expand your knowledge?
You can find more courses in Mathematics at the post on the best MOOCs in Data Science, Math and Economics!
As a final advice, I strongly encourage you to take a look at the students’ reviews of the 8 universities I recommended you in this article. Check out How Student Reviews can help your Enrolment Strategy before applying to a university. If you are passionate about any sort of mathematics, I am sure you will find the more attractive and suitable course for you!
