About the Program

Business mathematics is a sub-discipline of mathematics that applies mathematical methods to economic questions. In this research-based master's program students learn to structure and analyze economic problems, and to solve these using mathematical methods. The program also takes into account the demands and developments in the world of work, and approaches the field in an interdisciplinary manner. It aims to teach students to work in a scientific manner, and to apply and analyze scientific findings. The program takes place over four semesters. During the first two semesters, students develop their knowledge of mathematics and economics. At the latest in the third semester, students are introduced to current research in order to prepare for the master's thesis. The master's thesis is written up in the fourth semester. At least half of the classes taken in the first three semesters must be in mathematics and at least a third in economics. Students are free to select the remaining modules from programs in business mathematics, mathematics, business administration, economics, informatics, and business informatics. Possible specializations include: Mathematics (applied mathematics, stochastics) and Economics (finance and insurance; operations and supply chain management; economics).
