Taking into account the development of science and professions related to Mathematics, as well as input from all stakeholders, the curriculum of the Mathematics Study Program of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences UGM was revised in 2007. In 2012 a minor revision of the curriculum was made with the main change being the development and addition of interest in the study program.
Starting the 2017/2018 Academic Year, the UGM Mathematics Study Program has 6 (six) interests, namely Analysis, Algebra, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Actuarial and Financial Mathematics. The selection of interests is determined no later than at the beginning of the second semester.
