BSc Mathematics at University of Bonn

As a structural science or science of formal systems, the aim of mathematics is to prove statements regarding mathematical structures and objects using the principles of logic. Especially in applied mathematics, experiments and empirical knowledge provide aids and impulses to formulate such statements. Based on these statements or assumptions (axioms) that are presumed to be true, mathematicians develop theories that are transferable and applicable to as many real-life scenarios as possible.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Wintersemester (winter semester)  |  Location: Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

What you will study

To be able to put forward such universal assumptions, students first acquire basic skills in mathematical work using analytical, algebraic and algorithmic methods. Following this, students specialize in a certain area, e.g. “Algebra,” “Number Theory and Logic,” “Stochastic Processes,” “Analysis and Differential Equations” or “Geometry and Topology”.

Career pathways

Insurance industry, banking, IT, financial/personnel services firms, corporate consultants, industrial research and development (e.g. automotive industry/energy sector/medtech and biotech), logistics, academia (teaching/research at universities, research institutions, etc.) teaching at a German public school
