Master's Programmes

Find Your Study Programme!

From the winter semester 2024/25, we will be offering a degree programme taught entirely in English. This is divided into four different fields of study, allowing you to specialise in your favourite disciplines

Our study programmes in the overview

On this page we present our new Master's programme, which is taught entirely in English. This degree programme combines the best of our two previous degree programmes: The variety of fields of study in the German-language Master's programme and the internationality of the English-language programme.

On the following pages we present our new programme in detail:

Master of Science Mathematics

In this study programme you have the choice between four different fields of study:

  • Mathematics
  • Business Mathematics
  • Mathematics Interdisciplinary
  • Mathematics in Data Science

The field of study Mathematics is for the all-rounders among you. Here you have the opportunity to develop your full potential and to choose exactly the specialisation that suits you. Please note the requirements you should bring along from your Bachelor's degree. This degree programme also gives you the opportunity to forgo the minor subject and continue your studies in mathematics instead.

In the field of Business Mathematics, the proportion of business courses increases once again compared to the Bachelor's programme. You will choose one mathematical specialisation from Optimisation or Stochastics and the second specialisation from Economics modules. The major subject is rounded off by the minor subject of Economics with a possible focus on business informatics.

Your studies will be even more versatile with the Mathematics Interdisciplinary major. Here, you choose a non-mathematical subject as a second specialisation and, as in Business Mathematics, you also take only one mathematical specialisation. The minor subject should correspond to the non-mathematical specialisation. Popular specializations are, for example, computer science or physics.

The major Mathematics in Data Science prepares you for a promising professional field. You choose two out of four possible mathematical specialisations (Analysis (Data Science), Numerics (Data Science), Optimisation (Data Science), Stochastics (Data Science) (opens in new tab)). The minor subject computer science also makes up a large proportion of this specialisation. New lecures (opens in new tab) have been designed for these specialisations.

Your academic success is close to our heart. That is why we always have an open ear for you. Visit us personally during office hours, send an e-mail or give us a call. We will deal with your request as quickly as possible.

Open door policy

In addition, we have an “open door policy” at the department – so if you discover an open door at a professor or research assistant's office, just ask him or her. Especially if you have specific questions about a lecture, you should not hesitate to take advantage of this offer.

Student advice

Apart from the administrative and teaching staff, you can also get help from committed students. The student council, for example, is always happy to help you.

Student advisory service

You may also turn to the study coordinator Cornelia Seeberg with any questions you might have.

Maths is a “team sport”. Therefore, in addition to the counselling options mentioned above, you should look for one or more study groups at the beginning of your studies if possible. The easiest way to find these is to attend your tutorials regularly. Working on exercise sheets in a group not only offers a valuable exchange of ideas, but is also much more fun than working alone. You can find more information on the tutorial programme on the tutorial pages.

In addition to the tutorial groups, you will of course also have to study regularly for your courses and exams, especially during the exam periods. To enable you to do this in a productive atmosphere that is conducive to learning, the department and the university as a whole offer various learning programmes. These include, for example, the department's open and closed study rooms and the Mathematics Learning Centre.

We have compiled further offers on a separate page.

If you completed your Bachelor's degree at another university, you must still have an examination plan completed and approved.

Read more about this on the pages on examination schedules.
