With its wide range of compulsory subjects, the department guarantees a solid basic knowledge of mathematics. These are taught in the compulsory elective area in the third year of study on selected topics. Students are prepared for the master's degree course through seminars and the bachelor's thesis. The compulsory minor offers insights into areas of application. The bi-lingual course offerings in the Bachelor's degree allow students, even at the beginning of the course, to acquire skills in English as an international Mathematical language. The faculty focusses on innovative teaching and supervision concepts, e.g. the "Darmstadt Model" for small group practicals.

In the Master's degree course there is a wide range of theoretical, application-oriented and inter-disciplinary areas of specialisation due to the size of the department. English and German modules are offered. Through the Rhine-Main University Association (RMU), students can attend events in Frankfurt and Mainz and easily contribute to the degree programme. This greatly expands the range of lectures that students can attend.

The Master of Mathematics can be studied entirely in English, with a broad selection of topics. For an even greater selection of topics, credits can also be earned from modules of the German Master of Mathematics as well. The Darmstadt University of Technology has a well organised international affairs unit, which will help international students to get settled quickly and help with all practical issues.

For the support of courses, the department maintains several central computer rooms for general use. By appointment, fixed workstations, e.g. for the writing of a final thesis, are made available to students. The application-oriented workgroups operate computer servers which can be used by employees are and students as part of research, modelling and simulation. Particularly complex calculations, e.g. for industrial co-operations, can be carried out on the Lichtenberg high-performance computer at the TU.

8 work groups: Algebra, Analysis, Didactics, Geometry and Approximation, Logic, Numerics, Optimisation, Stochastics. Participation in joint research (selection): CRC/TRR: "Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation on the Example of Gas Networks", "Geometry and Arithmetic of Uniformised Structures", "Mutual Influence of Transport and Wetting Processes". LOEWE focus "Uniformised Structures in Arithmetic and Geometry", Hessian Cluster Initiative "Clean Circles". Postgraduate schools "Computational Engineering" and "Energy Science & Technology". Two ERC grants

An Equal Opportunity Working Group has established itself in the department, which wants to make the diversity of the department more visible and to promote more tolerance towards minorities as a matter of course. The group organizes various events, such as film evenings and discussions.
