Mathematics

Data encryption, risk management in finance and insurance, and mathematical imaging – mathematicians use analytic and computer-assisted techniques to understand the increasing complexity in natural sciences, life sciences, economics, and engineering.In the master’s degree programme Mathematics, you will build on the mathematical competences you acquired in your bachelor’s studies in the subject areas of analysis, algebra, stochastics, numerical mathematics and discrete mathematics.You will work on mathematical methods and train your mathematical thinking and working skills, e.g. in recognition of structures and relationships, in abstraction and analysis, in deductive, formal and algorithmic thinking.You will further develop your mathematical problem-solving competence, e.g. in the mathematical modelling of processes in engineering, economics and science, in the appropriate use of computerised support and in critical interpretation of the results.
