    Mathematics in Science and Engineering

    About

    The Mathematics in Science and Engineering master's program is tailored to students with an interest in a demanding mathematical education and training with a special focus on questions of engineering and the natural sciences.

    The fundamental specialties of mathematics are therefore of central importance, including mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, applied analysis, stochastic processes and computer science.

    These are complemented by an applied field such as physics, structural mechanics, fluid mechanics or biomedical engineering. A solid knowledge of the basics of the chosen field is conveyed, such that students are prepared for working in interdisciplinary teams.

    For a comprehensive description of the program, please refer to the degree program documentation:

    • Degree program documentation for the master's program in Mathematics in Science and Engineering (PDF, German) 
    The Mathematics in Science and Engineering master's program combines a broad vocational education and training in mathematics with an applied field such as physics, structural mechanics, fluid mechanics or biomedical engineering.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    In terms of applying to TUM, international refers to the country where you have completed your secondary school or your undergraduate studies. It does not refer to your country of origin or the place you live.
    • when applying to a bachelor's degree program: You have completed your secondary school education outside of Germany with something other than a German Abitur.when applying to a master's degree program: You have completed your undergraduate studes (i.e. your bachelor's) outside of the EU, EEA or Switzerland.

    To qualify for a master's degree program, you need a first academic degree, e.g. a bachelor's. The exact requirements for every degree program are stated in the Academic and Examination Regulations.

    Regardless of the program you are interested in, you need an undergraduate degree which is at least equal to a German bachelor's degree with a duration of 3 years (6 semester) to be eligible to apply for a master's program.

    You can look up your degree in the anabin database (available in German only) to get a first orientation whether you are generally qualified for a master's degree program in Germany.

    English Requirements

    • PTEMin 65
    • IELTSMin 6.5
    • TOEFLMin 88

    English Program Requirements

    All degree programs at TUM Informatics require proof of proficiency in German, English, or both. 

    Check TUM’s central admissions website for information on accepted language proficiency certificates here. 

    Please remember that you often will need to sign up for language tests several months in advance.

    Should you have no knowledge in German at all, you should plan to devote approximately 9 to 12 months to intensive courses in order to reach the required level. You must be able to prove proficiency in the relevant language for your program in order to be admitted.

    For Master's applications at the department of Informatics: if the language of instruction of your Bachelor's degree was English (100%), this can be accepted as English language proof for the Master's application. 
    Bachelor's thesis written in English can also be accepted as English proof. In this case a document from your university (

    Career

    As a graduate of the Mathematics in Science and Engineering master's program you are ideally prepared for entry into interdisciplinary professional fields in the software and technology sectors. Further opportunities arise in the development departments of diverse companies or in research institutes dealing with engineering and the natural sciences.
