Mathematics/Applied Mathematics Master

The Basis of Exact Science

Mathematics is the language in which our era’s technical and scientific knowledge is formulated. It is also an indispensable tool in computer science, insurance and the economy. However, its actual core is pure mathematics: the intensive study of abstract structures and geometrical objects, and the discovery and description of the laws that govern them.

Credits ECTS: 90
Language of instruction: English

Structure:

Students of the Master’s degree programme decide whether to study Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. In Mathematics, core courses and electives can be selected from the fields of Pure or Applied Mathematics. In Applied Mathematics, some courses must be taken from applied fields (e.g., Financial and Insurance Mathematics). In addition, one application area must be selected (e.g. Computer Science). Students decide only at the end of the programme which degree title they will apply for.

- Core and elective courses, seminars, semester papers

- Master’s thesis project (5 months)

- Master’s degree in Mathematics or in Applied Mathematics
