General information for the degree programme
The scientific language of our time is the language of mathematics. No subject of technology can do without mathematics. It is indispensable for the natural sciences, computer science, economics and social sciences.
The bachelor's programme in Mathematics in Business and Economics is particularly aimed at those who have an interest in mathematics with regard to its application in the economic sciences.
Study contents
The course is modular in structure, is six semesters in length (full-time studies) and includes modules in mathematics, economics and general qualification.
In the first three to four semesters, basic knowledge is taught as an indispensable prerequisite for all forms of specialisation in mathematics.
This includes compulsory modules in the following areas:
- Calculus
- Linear algebra
- Programming
- Differential equations on manifolds
- Measure and integral
- Numerical analysis
- Stochastics
During this period, non-mathematical minor subject training is also taking place. You can select different priority areas from the field of economics.
In a second phase, which begins with the 3rd semester, the focus is on the in-depth study of selected mathematical subjects. For this purpose, so-called compulsory elective modules are offered in the following areas:
- Analysis
- Algebra
- Numerical analyisis
- Optimisation
- Stochastics and Statistics
- Financial and actuarial mathematics
- Modelling and simulation
You can select seven modules from these options. In addition, modules which serve the general qualification (e.g. language training) have to be completed.
The final bachelor's thesis completes this part of the course.
Professional field
After completing your bachelor's degree, you will have the opportunity to do a master's degree. The master's programme in Mathematics in Business and Economics is particularly aimed to deepen the acquired knowledge and is suitable for students considering working as mathematicians in the fields of risk management, statistics, auditing, management consulting, or information and communication management. As a graduate, you will also be able to work in a wide range of other professional fields in business, technology and science, where you will support or shape the use of mathematical methods, thanks to your highly versatile mathematical and general qualifications.
