This Master's in Industrial Mathematics is coordinated by the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), with the universities of A Coruña (UDC), Vigo (UVigo), Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) and the Polytechnic of Madrid (UPM). It aims to provide solid training to enable students fast access to the industrial environment and to be in a position to pursue a career with increasing responsibilities.

In this sense, the scientific and technological interest of the M2i is based on three pillars:

1. Improve analytic skills and knowledge of students who conform future professional and research teams.

2. Provide specific skills relating to the design, construction and management of specific software, at least in one of the industrial sectors.

3. Introduce students to the research and development issues related to the subjects that conform this program.

c. Posicionar la Matemática Industrial dentro de la actividad empresarial.
d. Saber trabajar en equipo en la resolución de problemas industriales
e. Exponer por escrito y oralmente los resultados del trabajo ante audiencias especializadas como ante los potenciales usuarios.
El tema del Trabajo Fin de Máster será elegido entre las propuestas presentadas por las empresas colaboradoras del Máster (que serán objeto además de sesiones específicas de modelización matemática, tal y como se han descrito anteriormente) y las ofertas presentadas por instructores del programa y avaladas por la Comisión Académica del Máster.
En el marco del desarrollo del Trabajo Fin de Máster (al margen del trabajo personal del alumno tutorizado por un profesor del Máster) el alumno deberá participar en algunas de las siguientes actividades:
(a) Seminarios y sesiones de modelización matemática de problemas industriales. En particular, al margen de las sesiones organizadas en el marco del propio máster, se valorará la participación en las semanas de modelización Modelling Weeks (MW) internacionales anualmente organizadas por el ECMI.
(b) Seminarios y sesiones de metodología de proyectos, relativas a proyectos tanto en el marco general de la matemática industrial como en dominios específicos (como, por ejemplo, proyectos de desarrollo de software)
c) Prácticas en empresas

The teaching staff consists of applied mathematics lecturers with extensive experience in the field of modelling and numerical simulation. In addition, guest lecturers of recognised prestige in the scientific and/or technical field will also be present.
