Entry requirements

A successfully completed Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, physics or mathematics-related field is a prerequisite. Possible gaps in basic mathematical knowledge can be filled during the Master’s programme studies. The remaining requirements are the same as for the mathematics B.A.: You must enjoy working with mathematics, delight in thinking and accuracy, and possess a faculty for abstraction as well as wanting to get to the bottom of things. Study of mathematics also requires being prepared for much hard work, discipline and having a high frustration threshold. The lecture material should be reviewed consistently and thoroughly and practice problems must be solved for deeper understanding. Applying the methods learned to developing your own solutions and proofs also plays a part in this.
