Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The Master's degree course in Mathematics (M.Sc.) is offered as a single-subject course. It is a consecutive Master's degree course following an undergraduate degree. The course is aimed at prospective students with a relevant Bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree who wish to study application-oriented mathematics in depth. The course initially focuses on in-depth study of the fundamental disciplines of mathematics such as analysis, numerics, stochastics and optimization. This compulsory range of courses is supplemented by individual mathematical specializations. In addition, students can take modules from other subjects as part of a free elective area and thus set their own specializations. During their studies, graduates acquire significant in-depth specialist knowledge of the subject, methods and systems necessary for the transition to research or a career. Furthermore, students gain the ability to get an overview of the central contexts of the subject of mathematics, to apply basic scientific methods and findings and to recognize links to related fields of application. The degree program also teaches key, social and personal skills. Possible professional fields for mathematicians include banking and insurance, as well as the logistics sector and research.
