   I would say it is highly likely that doing master level mathematics
will expose you to Matlab, it did me. In America a Masters degree in mathematics is sufficient to teach at a community college and as an adjunct instructor at a university. To do research in mathematics (officially) you need to be in a PHD program. I hope I have assisted you.
