BA Mathematics (combination/minor subject) at University of Stuttgart

The appeal of mathematics lies in its abstract logic, universal techniques, and wide-ranging applicability. Many technological achievements would not have been possible without mathematics. Studying mathematics in Stuttgart provides both a broad foundation in various areas of mathematics and numerous opportunities for specialisation – not only within mathematics itself but also in interdisciplinary applications such as physics, computer science, economics, and more.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time, German-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

What you will study

In the first three semesters, you will learn the fundamentals of mathematics. Unlike in school, not only numeracy skills are important. The applicable rules of calculation and properties are derived from elementary assumptions, so-called axioms, and are formulated and proven mathematically in the form of definitions and theorems.

Career pathways

Career prospects for mathematicians are excellent. Their ability to solve complex problems in an abstract and structured way makes them highly sought after in almost all industries. In recent years, IT professions have grown particularly strongly - high-demand areas include Big Data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
