What you will study

The initial phase of the program imparts basic mathematical content and methods in the areas of analysis and linear algebra. Later on, elements from numeric, algebra, and stochastics are added. From the second academic year on, introductory software courses are offered as block courses (1-2 weeks) during lecture-free periods. From the fourth semester on, students acquire more specific knowledge in various areas by attending specialization modules. The sixth semester is devoted, among other things, to completion of the Bachelor's thesis. In addition to mathematics, a minor subject related to mathematics is studied.

Career pathways

The professional field of mathematicians is largely industry-independent and is constantly expanding. Core areas can be found in service-sector businesses such as IT, credit, insurance, and finance, in management consulting, in public service, and at universities and research institutions. Companies from areas such as medicine, chemistry, logistics, and manufacturing are also increasingly employing mathematicians.
