Mp3 players, subway timetables, process optimization, MRI scanners, election analyzes or online banking - mathematics is everywhere in our everyday lives. The Master's program in Mathematics offers a wide range of courses in pure and applied mathematics. The aim of the course is to expand the mathematical skills and knowledge of the students and to introduce them to independent research activities. Students have the opportunity to shape their studies in one of the active research teams.


The language of instruction is English.


The master's degree lasts two years.

  • The first year consists of lectures and seminars at an increasingly advanced level. The technical content can be selected according to scientific skills and interests.
  • In the second year, a large selection of courses is available in the elective area (3rd and 4th semester), in particular from the three main research areas algebraic, geometric and discrete structures, optimization and partial differential equations as well as probability theory and mathematical statistics.
  • In the second year, students also work on their master's thesis. In an individually tailored induction project, the students are first taught the necessary knowledge for the respective research area. In the subsequent preparatory project, the students then get to know the special mathematical methods that are required for their master's thesis. During the second year of study, the students are supervised by a professor, they also belong to a research team and take part in its projects.
