Students who consider becoming a teacher can combine the IAM program with the master Science Education and Communication offered by the Eindhoven School of Education (ESoE). In this way, they receive the MSc in Mathematics and are qualified as teacher for all classes of secondary schools and vocational schools.
A double degree program IAM-SEC contains at least 150 ects. Two obvious categories of students may be distinguished:
Completed Bachelor Degree
A. Students who completed the Bachelor College educational elective packages in their Bachelor’s program (30 ECTS, in the field of mathematics)
The following leads to an IAM master and SEC master:
- 120 ECTS: the IAM program according to IAM's regulations. If not taken earlier at a sufficient level, the program should contain courses on geometry (either the course designed for teachers offered by MasterMath, or 2WT11: Meetkunde), the history of mathematics (e.g., the course offered by MasterMath), and number theory (e.g., a Research Topic combining number theory and history of mathematics).
- 30 ECTS: educational packages P3 and P4 offered by ESoE.
Not Completed Bachelor Degree
B. Students who did not complete the educational elective packages (30 ECTS) in their Bachelor’s program.
The following table provides the requirements for an IAM master and SEC master:
151-152 ECTS | Double degree (`bidiplomering') IAM (SEC as of 2015-2016) |
20ECTS 30ECTS 6ECTS 5/6ECTS
30ECTS 15ECTS 15ECTS 15ECTS 15ECTS | Core program: 2MMR10 Professional Portfolio + 3 out of 5 IAM basic courses Special electives (IAM) Geometry (Mastermath) or 2WT11 Meetkunde (6 ects) History of Mathematics (Mastermath, 6ECTS) or Research Topic (Number Theory/History of Mathematics, 5ECTS), depending on background Final project IAM P1: Educational package from SEC master offered by ESoE P2: Educational package from SEC master offered by ESoE P3: Educational package from SEC master offered by ESoE P4: Educational package from SEC master offered by ESoE |
