Whether autonomous driving, intelligent materials, sustainable financial products or language assistants: "Maths is the key to many specialist areas.
Mathematical methods are essential for describing, analysing and optimising relationships and processes in the computer age," says course advisor Professor Ralf Hielscher. "The new Master's qualifies students in one of the three application areas of economics, engineering or computer science so that they have excellent career prospects - in combination with the mathematical know-how and abstraction skills taught in the mathematics section."

More than maths

Students on the new Master's degree programme at TU Bergakademie Freiberg can structure their timetable very flexibly: Only two of the modules to be completed are fixed. "This allows students to coordinate the maths and application modules to best suit their individual interests," explains Hielscher. The ratio between the mathematics part and the application subjects of business, engineering or computer science is highly variable.

What prospective students should bring

A bachelor's degree in a mathematics degree programme or an equivalent degree programme at a university is required. A strong ability to think logically and abstractly as well as enjoy structured problem-solving and interdisciplinary projects are helpful.

Varied career prospects

The combination of a mathematics degree with an applied field creates excellent opportunities on the labour market. The fields of activity range from data collection and analysis, risk analysis and risk management to software development and process and product development. Graduates work in industry, research and development or at banks and insurance companies.
