The University of Greifswald's combination Bachelor's and Master's degree course in Biomathematics is the only one of its kind in Germany. The progressive technical development makes it possible to analyse large, biological datasets quickly or to carry out simulations. Development and use of mathematical models for better understanding of the biological processes require in-depth knowledge in both areas. These are taught within the Biomathematics degree courses. In addition, there are In the Bachelor's degree course there are options to change to the classic Maths course and vice versa.

The Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Greifswald maintains close contact with various international universities, especially in New Zealand. In this context, students regularly complete several months of individually organised research internships abroad, for which they are paid and credited for their studies in Greifswald.

Computer rooms with 40 workstations for teaching, 2 computer rooms for research in the respective work groups, access to the HPC cluster for study work, GPU node for AI applications and development of machine learning methods

In research, the institute focuses on theoretical and applied research. The focus on biomathematics has been successful for 20 years and is now reinforced by the statistics / data science field. A further focus in an applied field is scientific computing and computer science (in particular bioinformatics, differential equations and computer graphics). Research in the theoretical field is focused on algebra, geometry and topology, and cooperates with the Institute of Physics.
