Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Mathematics – Bachelor 50%
Preliminary course at start of programme
Students of Mathematics acquire the skill of abstract thinking required to understand mathematical texts as well as the mathematical terminology that is necessary to ensure precise communication. On this basis, they further learn to independently acquire, apply and develop mathematical methods.

Course Content
The aim of the Bachelor's degree programme in Mathematics is to convey a basic education in mathematics. Graduates of the Bachelor’s degree programme are able to understand and apply mathematical models in science and business. In addition to a subject-specific education, the academic programme also helps students improve their ability to analyse and solve problems, communicate and subsequently improves their resilience. Students who wish to transition into the job market after they graduate from the Bachelor’s programme can organise their academic programme in such a way that they learn about the fundamental mathematical aspects of the desired career.
Students wishing to pursue teacher training to later teach in a German “Gymnasium”, must complete this programme in order to progress to the Master of Education.
Course Structure
In this degree programme, Mathematics is paired with another subject of equal importance. This approach paves the way for interdisciplinary education in which basic knowledge of mathematics may serve as a pillar for qualifications in a further area. If the second subject affords sufficient synergies and students submit their final thesis in Mathematics, students can also earn a Bachelor of Science with a strong focus on mathematical applications in this option.
The academic programme in Mathematics consists in the following:
- Mathematics
- Interdisciplinary skills
- Bachelor's thesis
The Mathematics component consists predominantly of compulsory modules which students must complete to gain the necessary fundamental knowledge of mathematics. There are very few elective modules.
Students gain a proportion of credits for Interdisciplinary Skills via completion of the compulsory modules. Further credits are gained by the attendance of lectures and seminars in another subject area offered by the university, or via the completion of additional, selected modules in the field of Mathematics.
The polyvalent Bachelor's degree opens up two qualification options: the academic training can serve as the basis for the Master of Education in the Lehramt Gymnasium profile if the career goal is to become a teacher. At the same time, the polyvalent Bachelor can be the basis for a Master of Arts or Master of Science. This study decision can be made during the Bachelor's degree programme.
