Course of study

In the Bachelor’s program in Mathematics, a total of 180 CP are earned over the standard six-semester program. Of these, 132 CP come from courses in the major, which is divided into a required component (87 CP) and a required-elective component (at least 45 CP).

The required component includes the following introductory lectures:

• Linear Algebra 1,
• Analysis 1 (1st semester),
• Linear Algebra 2,
• Analysis 2,
• Programming (2nd semester),
• Analysis 3,
• Numerics 1 (3rd semester),
• Stochastics 1 (4th semester).

Starting in the third semester, students can tailor their course of study. In Elective Area 1, students choose between Complex Analysis and Algebra, and in Elective Area 2, between Stochastics 2 and Image Processing and Computer Vision. Additional courses are selected from the core and advanced lecture series.

The program is supplemented by a minor (at least 27 CP, max. 36 CP), whose modules are typically taken from the first through the fifth semester. Possible options include, for example, economics, computer science, physics, biology, chemistry, engineering, philosophy, psychology, cybersecurity, computational linguistics, and systems engineering.

The sixth semester is characterized by the completion of the Bachelor’s thesis (12 CP), a supervised project. It demonstrates that the student is able to solve a problem in the field of mathematics under supervision within a specified time frame and to document the results.
