The Bachelor's degree programme in Mathematics will provide you with the basic mathematical knowledge that will enable you to take an analytical and structured approach to both mathematical and non-mathematical problems. You will develop the mathematical skills and abilities required for modelling and mathematically solving problems in many areas of professional life. The skills you learn will also be practised on problems from the natural sciences or economics during the course of your studies - you will choose a minor subject of your choice at the beginning of the programme.
The programme consists of the following three elements:
and is usually completed with 180 credit points.
The subject examinations take place in written and oral form during the course of study in order to ensure rapid study and regular performance assessment.
In Mathematics, all students must first complete a compulsory programme of courses. This is followed by an advanced and elective area in which students select courses according to their interests. The degree programme concludes with the completion of a mathematical Bachelor's thesis.
As a Minor Subject, you can choose subjects such as computer science, physics or economics, depending on your interests (other subjects are possible on request). The exact allocation of credit points to the minor subject modules depends on the minor subject chosen. We will be happy to advise you on the minor subject at the start of your degree programme.
Interdisciplinary and action-oriented content characterises the Professionalisation Area. In addition to computer internships and mathematical seminars, in which students learn the basics of writing mathematical and technical texts, bibliography and excerpting as well as the fundamentals of scientific argumentation, students can attend interdisciplinary and professional qualification courses depending on their study goals and previous knowledge.

The sample study plans are intended as a structuring aid for your study programme - however, they are not binding and can be adapted by you depending on the time and effort required. The total scope of the 1-subject Bachelor's degree programme in Mathematics is 180 credit points.
On the Bachelor's degree programme, we recommend a stay abroad from the fourth semester onwards. Recognition of credits, particularly in the elective area, is relatively simple; further information on the recognition procedure can be obtained from your study programme coordination office.
Information on possible partner universities can be found on the website of the International Office. Plan your semester abroad well in advance, as the application deadlines are approx. 5 months (Erasmus, Europe) or 9 months (rest of the world) before the start of the semester abroad. Relevant information on formalities and funding opportunities can also be found on the website of the International Office. Please also look out for the monthly information events on Europe and overseas.
