Further information provided by the department

Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Broad basic education in mathematics; Individual counselling services and small exercise groups; STEM college and additional tutorials ("learning workshops") to support the transition from school to university; Wide range of elective modules and minors.

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

Wide range of elective modules and minors; Research-oriented master's programme (for academic careers as well); Individual specialisation in pure and applied mathematics areas; Proximity to engineering and natural sciences in Stuttgart (e.g. Cluster of Excellence SimTech, Centre for Applied Quantum Technology); Dual master's degree with Verona (Italy) available; Students can complete their master's thesis while working in the industry.

Special features regarding the international orientation

In addition to numerous partner universities associated with the Erasmus programme, the Department of Mathematics has a large number of lecturers who completed their doctorates abroad, which also means that there are many long-term and personal contacts with universities and research institutes around the world.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

University of Toronto, Kanada; University of Adelaide, Australien; Tongji University, China; University of Limerick, Irland; Universitet i Bergen, Norwegen; Uppsala universitet, Schweden; Aalto-yliopisto, Finnland

Special features regarding the equipment

The department maintains three excellently equipped computer rooms for teaching with a total of 48 computer workstations, each one equipped with the software necessary for the studies. Further characteristics are, for example, campus-wide WiFi, the high performance computers Cray XC40 (HORNET) and access to the parallel computers of the Simtech Excellence Cluster. All lecture halls, tutorial rooms and numerous student workspaces are located near the Mathematics Institute in the centre of campus, as well as an S-Bahn transit connection, the canteen and cafeterias, and the central library.

Special features regarding research activities

The broad spectrum of internationally renowned mathematical research ranges from the principles of pure mathematics to applied mathematics in industry and research. Students are involved in projects from current research fields at an early stage. A special feature is the broad interdisciplinary networking, which fully capitalises on the strengths of the University of Stuttgart and the metropolitan region: i) Cooperation with physics and the natural and engineering sciences, ii) Numerous industry contacts forged in the course of the Cybervalley initiative (machine learning, big data).

Other special features

A current survey shows that up to almost 100% of all Stuttgart Mathematics graduates are in employment after a short time. In addition to the usual sectors for Mathematics such as insurance companies, software companies, banks and management consultancies etc., 38% of Stuttgart graduates find work in the auto industry. This high proportion of Mathematics graduates in the automotive sector is unique in Germany. This illustrates the interdisciplinary networking and cross-faculty cooperation in research and teaching.
