De masterspecialisatie Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory richt zich op studenten die zich willen specialiseren binnen de algebra, meetkunde of getaltheorie. Populaire collegonderwerpen zijn bijvoorbeeld algebraïsche getaltheorie, algebraïsche meetkunde, algebraïsche topologie en cryptologie. De specialisatie participeert in het Erasmus Mundus uitwisselingsprogramma ALGANT.
Much of the contents of the courses offered in this specialisation is directly inspired by the instructors’ own research. The research of the Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory cluster tries to bridge the gap between abstract theory and the world of algorithms and applications. It might be viewed as number theory in the broadest sense, ranging from discrete dynamical systems to arithmetic geometry and motives, with a strong emphasis on algebraic methods and a direct interest in the computational aspects of the theory. The cluster also has a cryptology component.
