Mathematics and Computer Science (Bachelor)

Subject at a glance

With the integrated bachelor’s degree program in mathematics and computer science, for the first time in Germany, the opportunity has been created to study the fundamentals of both subjects on an equal footing, in order to subsequently develop in all directions: in mathematics, in computer science – or further in a combination of these two subjects, depending on where one has identified one’s strengths.

The bachelor’s program in mathematics and computer science teaches the fundamental content of both mathematics and computer science in six semesters. On the mathematical side, this includes analysis, linear algebra, numerics and stochastics. On the computer science side, the fundamentals of programming, algorithms and data structures, and theoretical computer science are taught in particular. This knowledge allows the students to deepen their knowledge in any special field in both subjects.

The program is suitable for everyone who has an affinity for both subjects, but also for those who do not want to commit themselves unambiguously at the beginning of their studies: It is possible to change to the bachelor’s program in mathematics or computer science after two semesters without loss of time.

Career prospects

Great prospects for graduates of the Mathematics and Computer Science program arise in all traditional fields of work for mathematicians and computer scientists. Exciting fields of work and the best career opportunities are also offered in particular in research and development departments in the fields of finance, e-commerce, automotive and mechanical engineering, medicine, the pharmaceutical industry and telecommunications. Here, graduates can optimally apply their strengths in both subjects.
