Computational Mathematics

Mathematics is a key technology across virtually all industries. In recent years, digitalization has created a wide range of new career opportunities at the interface of mathematics, physics and computer science. These emerging fields increasingly require not only analytical thinking and the ability to develop mathematical models, but also computational expertise and strong interdisciplinary competencies. Rapidly growing areas such as artificial intelligence, big data, environmental science, medicine, mobility, and sustainability all rely on a solid foundation in mathematics, programming skills, and an understanding of the natural sciences and engineering. The Bachelor's degree programme in Computational Mathematics has been designed to provide exactly this combination of knowledge and skills.
It offers a broad and thorough education in the core subjects of mathematics and computer science. Thanks to its English-language curriculum, the programme has an international focus, while a wide range of optional modules provides considerable flexibility. You can specialize in Mathematics in Physics and Engineering or Financial Mathematics, or follow a general track. Throughout your studies, you will be involved in interdisciplinary research projects and practical applications.
The Bachelor's programme in Computational Mathematics combines English-language instruction with a strong foundation in mathematics and computational methods. Its interdisciplinary curriculum, opportunities for specialization, integrated language courses, and international orientation create a stimulating learning environment for students from Germany and abroad. The programme provides a broad mathematical education while emphasising the use of computational techniques in diverse application areas, preparing graduates for a wide range of professional and academic careers.
 

A keen interest in mathematics, combined with analytical rigor, structured thinking, and enthusiasm for problem-solving and modeling, provides an ideal basis for this degree programme. Sufficient proficiency in English (level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is required.

A combination of analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and technical programming expertise is highly valued across all industries. Typical activities include research and development, modeling and simulation, data analysis and forecasting, optimization, software development, as well as planning and project management. As interdisciplinary collaboration and international research continue to gain importance, graduates are well prepared for careers in a broad range of sectors. Depending on their interests and chosen specialization, they may work in research institutes, engineering and consulting companies, banking and insurance, the automotive and aerospace industries, logistics, the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, or the energy sector.
Thanks to its strong practical focus, extensive programming skills training and interdisciplinary applications, the knowledge gained on the Computational Mathematics Bachelor's programme can be further developed in various Master's programmes.
