Mathematics (Bachelor of Science)

About

The first three semesters are dedicated to completion of the foundation stage. First of all, students deal with algebra and analysis; the foundation area is then supplemented by stochastics and numerical analysis. As a general rule, students explore the material in study groups and then complete problem sheets and tests. Students can then choose to expand on the foundation stage in their area of specialisation. From the third semester onwards, students additionally take a so-called application subject, worth 18 credit points, enabling them to gain an insight into the tasks and working practices of another subject area. Standard subjects include Business Administration, Computer Science, Philosophy and Physics. However, other subjects are also possible, depending on the students individual timetable. The Bachelors thesis, written at the end of the programme, should demonstrate the students ability to independently tackle a problem from the field of mathematics based on scientific methods within the space of three months. Attendance of a seminar in the fifth semester is also part of the Bachelors thesis. The topic of the Bachelors thesis usually evolves from this seminar.

The main reason for studying mathematics ought to be a love of the subject. After the first lecture, students soon realise that mathematics at university level is a different matter to school mathematics: the degree programme involves abstract structures, logical thinking and algorithms. Another necessary skill is the perseverance required to complete weekly problem sheets. In addition, imaginativeness and capacity for teamwork are also very useful.

Career

The aim of the Bachelors degree programme in Mathematics is to enable graduates to work in mathematical research or in private sector companies.

Conceivable career options can be found in companies that offer in-house development programmes (e.g. trainee programmes) for career entrants with a sound basic knowledge of mathematics. In addition, companies have a demand for employees who possess analytical skills and the power of abstraction, e.g. in areas such as marketing and sales or project management.

How to Apply

You can use our online application portal to enrol any time between 1 June and 30 September. To be able to do this, you will need a qualification for admission to higher education. At the end of the online application, you will automatically be forwarded to a cover letter (the so-called application for enrollment). Sign this application for enrollment (handwritten or digital) and put it together with the required documents into one PDF document, which you can then upload using the upload link provided. The required documents include your qualification for admission to higher education (e.g. Abitur) and any other supporting documents such as practical training certificates or evidence of language proficiency. We also need proof of your health insurance and evidence that you have paid the semester fee. At the end of the online application, all required documents are listed and must be uploaded as a scan of the original documents by September 30th, 11:59 p.m. Please do not forget to upload your photo for the LeibnizCard . You can find information on this in the application for enrollment at the end of the online application. In September, you will receive your enrolment documents, an invitation to the welcome event for new students and information about any preparatory courses that may be offered. Please note that some degree programmes offer preparatory courses well before term starts.
