Foundation phase

In the first semesters, you will concentrate on fundamental mathematical subjects such as calculus and linear algebra, followed by the core areas of applied mathematics. You will also learn algorithmic problem solving, structuring information, programming, and the use of specialised mathematical software as part of the computer science curriculum.

Application focuses business/engineering

Right from the start of your studies, you will choose an application focus in business or engineering as your specialisation. This allows you to specialise during your studies and pave the way for your future career. In the engineering specialisation, you will study physics and selected engineering subjects such as technical mechanics. In the business specialisation, you will develop knowledge and skills in areas such as corporate management, accounting, process modelling, and business analytics.

Internship semester (6th semester)

The 6th semester is intended as the internship semester. You spend the semester in a company and have the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills you have developed and get to know the day-to-day work.

Final semester (7th semester)

The bachelor's degree programme concludes with the writing and defence of a bachelor's thesis, in which you can work on a practice-oriented problem in a company and can put your knowledge and skills into practice. After completing your studies, you will have in-depth specialist knowledge and the necessary practical experience as well as the corresponding specialisation to work in a company.

At the start of your studies of Applied Mathematics, you choose either Technology or Business as your area of specialisation. That way, you can already move towards your desired career during your studies. The area of specialisation Technology includes Physics, and engineering subjects like Technical Mechanics. In the area of specialisation Business, you will be concerned with Corporate Management, Process Modelling, and Business Analytics.

In addition to the specialisations in Technology or Business, you can choose your individual specialisations through our core elective modules (FWPMs).

Students can also choose from our general elective modules (AWPM). These enable you to specialise further.
