Applicants with a degree that is not in mathematics but in a related field can only be admitted after passing an oral exam. The criteria of this oral exam are: Basic knowledge in the theory of differential equations or functional analysis, basic knowledge in numerics or in optimization, ability to discuss mathematics in English, based, for example, on the applicant’s Bachelor’s thesis. Language: Applicants must provide proof of their English language skills, including one of the following: English level B2 CEFR (vantage or upper intermediate), or university entrance qualification or a university degree acquired in English, or six years of English study at a German grammar school („Gymnasium“).
