Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Business mathematics is a strongly application-oriented mathematics program in which students learn structures and techniques that enable them to analyze and solve mathematical problems, such as those encountered by banks and insurance companies, or that are used to optimize utility networks (energy, water, logistics). The combination of the three subject areas of mathematics, economics and computer science ensures optimal preparation for professional life. After graduation, you will be able to analyze and optimize economic problems using mathematical methods, predict processes and offer solutions to companies.
