Master’s Programme Mathematics

Graduates possess highly specialized knowledge in two of the three fields of higher algebra and discrete mathematics, higher analysis and numerical mathematics or inverse problems, imaging and kinematics. They are able to apply their knowledge at the intersections of related sciences by independently formulate and substantiate scientific arguments and to find innovative solutions to problems.

The Master's Programme Technical Mathematics prepares for a highly qualified occupation as a mathematician in industry and in commerce as well as for the PhD Programme in Technical Mathematics. It deepens and widens the abilities and the knowledge in the field of mathematics that have been acquired during the Bachelor's Programme Technical Mathematics. The graduates are qualified for innovative solutions of mathematical problems originating from science, engineering, economy, and medicine. Therefore, during the master's programme the knowledge of both the foundations and the methods and algorithms of application-oriented branches of mathematics are deepened. An increased offer of research-guided courses stimulates in particular creative thinking and establishes a basis for the PhD programme.

In additon to the compulsory modules in Functional Analysis and Numerical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations, courses from the following areas are offered

• higher algebra and discrete mathematics,
• higher analysis and numerical mathematics as well as
• inverse problems, imaging and kinematics.

Students can chose two areas. The study programme is concluded with a master's thesis, which is a scientific paper from a branch of mathematics.

The career fields of the graduates of the Master's Programme Technical Mathematics are in particular the high-tech industry (modelling, developing and/or applying algorithms, developing and/or applying mathematical software), the fields of telecommunication and information technology, logistics, banks, insurance companies, statistical offices, and research institutions. Occupational profiles of graduates of the bachelor's programme can be found in fields where problem-solving capacities and specially trained analytical and systematic thinking are required (e.g. management, administration or consulting companies).
