Mathematics

The degree program

The first semesters are dedicated to teaching the basics of analysis, linear algebra, numerical mathematics I, stochastics I and the basics of the application subject. Additionally, there are further compulsory elective modules such as function theory, functional analysis, algebra and number theory. In the last semesters, modules from the courses offered in mathematics can be chosen according to the focus of interest. A mandatory counseling interview will support students in organizing their degree program.

The following application subjects can be chosen:

• Natural sciences and technology
• Business mathematics
• Philosophy

Professional prospects

Mathematicians are not only characterized by specialist knowledge, but in particular by skills such as the ability to think abstractly and logically as well as to grasp and structure complex issues. Possible tasks in business and industry are:

• Creation of risk forecasts (insurance) / analysis of price developments in the financial sector (shares, etc.)
• Improvement of encoding techniques, e.g. for online banking and telephone, internet, music and images
• Optimization of schedules, e.g. for trains, buses and planes
• Development of mathematical models (automotive, aerospace, steel industry, medicine)
• Processing and evaluation of data, e.g. in banks and insurance companies

Organization of the degree program

Subject examination regulations/degree plans/module handbooks/internship regulations

Subject examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (e.g. admission requirements and contents to be studied). The current version of an FPO automatically applies to students when enrolling in the first semester of study. This means that, even if the FPO changes during the course of your studies, the original version in effect at the time of enrollment still applies (provided that said FPO does not expire).
The respective degree plan contains the recommended exemplary course of studies in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information on each module to be studied can be found in the module handbooks (e.g. requirements for taking a written examination or information about the content of modules/courses, …).
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.

We recommend that, as a minimum, you take a look at the degree plan of your degree program before the start of the lecture period so that you know which modules are intended for the start of your studies.
