Bachelor's Program in Mathematics in Business and Economics

Business, Economics, and Mathematics: a perfect combination in a digitalized world! Often invisible yet irreplaceable, mathematics can be found everywhere in our daily lives and in economic processes. Be it artificial intelligence of smartphones, weather forecasts in apps or on TV, online advertising on social media, or delivery routes for online shopping: all of this would be unthinkable without mathematical tools.

In the bachelor's program in Mathematics in Business and Economics at the University of Mannheim, students do not only acquire knowledge in mathematical fundamentals and techniques, but also learn to place mathematical questions of different kinds into economic context. The main areas of focus are applied fields such as stochastics, optimization and mathematical finance. Apart from gaining expertise in the subject, students of the University of Mannheim can also benefit from many other advantages, for instance a semester abroad, diverse leisure activities, as well as active exchange with companies in numerous industries.

With their knowledge of two different disciplines, Mathematics and Business Administration/Economics, our graduates can choose to work for a variety of employers, for instance banks, insurance companies, financial service providers, tech startups, fintech providers, industrial enterprises, and management consultancy firms.

However, starting work right away isnt your only option.
