Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Flexible organisation of studies and a wide range of courses in mathematics, engineering mathematics and business mathematics; Studies may start in the summer and winter semesters; High proportion of compulsory elective modules; Flexible scheduling of (oral) examinations; Individual counselling when planning studies; International orientation of the study programme, focus on technology ("mathematics as a key technology") – greater practical relevance thanks to the partnership with Fraunhofer ITWM (technical internships, research and teaching activities); Reliable recognition process (awarded by DAAD).

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

Studies based on individual examination plans opens up many opportunities for module composition and design of studies; Flexible scheduling of (oral) examinations; Mentoring system and individual counselling when planning studies; International orientation of the course, focus on technology ("mathematics as a key technology"); Greater practical relevance thanks to the partnership with Fraunhofer ITWM (final theses, project work, research and teaching activities); Reliable recognition process (awarded by DAAD).

Special features regarding the international orientation

Courses as part of extension studies (starting with the 3rd year of the Bachelor's degree) in English; individual semester abroad at more than 50 partner universities worldwide that are integrated into studies; reliable practice for recognition of courses completed abroad (awarded by DAAD); organisational support from the departmental "Graduate School of Mathematics as Key Technology".
