General information for the degree programme

Mathematics is a key technology for most fields in research, industry and economy, and the importance of mathematics will continue to grow. The design of an efficient engine or hybrid and electric cars, the piloting of an airplane or the control of a factory, the quick transfer of data or the logistics of a large company - none of this works without mathematical models, their analysis, and solution.

The first three semesters cover the taught part of the programme (90 ECTS points), in the last semester students work on their research-oriented MSc thesis.

The first semester focuses on the analysis and numeric approach to partial differential equations. Students have to choose modules from one of the following specializations: algebra, geometry, and discrete structures; analysis and stochastics; numerical mathematics, optimization, modelling, and simulation. Furthermore, students also choose a nonmathematical minor, e.g. physics, biology, computer science.
