Mathematics (M.Sc.)
Brief description
Studying for the master’s degree in mathematics leads to a deepening and specialization in mathematics as well as in the minor and leads in particular to an intensification of independent scientific work.
The course is more research-oriented. Students can, however, emphasize the application focus by setting individual priorities. The in-depth study in a minor guarantees that the use of mathematical methods is also reflected in an interdisciplinary context.
Focus
The in-depth lectures, seminars or internships are usually completed in the work areas represented in the department. These are
There is a wide range of subjects to choose from when choosing a minor. The most frequently chosen subjects are:
Business administration, biology, geography, computer science, physics, economics.
aims
The fields of activity for mathematicians are very diverse and predominantly interdisciplinary. There are excellent career prospects due to continuously developing new fields of activity in which a sound knowledge of mathematics is required. Often, interesting, non-subject tasks are also carried out very successfully, as abstract-logical skills to analyze a problem and lead to a solution are also of great use in other areas and this particularly encourages innovation processes.
Graduates of the master’s degree in mathematics can be found outside of universities and research institutions in all areas of industry and business. Mathematicians are particularly sought after in software development, in banks, insurance companies and management consultancies.
A particularly successful master’s degree also gives you access to a doctorate - primarily in mathematics.
