Mathematics
B.Sc.
Overview
Not only does mathematics enjoy a rich tradition as one of the foundations of science; it is also the driving force behind innovations in all areas of modern life, from the natural sciences and engineering to medicine, economics and digital technology. Thus there is much more to mathematics than the typically widespread image of an abstract discipline concerning theorems and calculative procedures. Only the Technical University of Munich offers a bachelor's in mathematics that provides more than just a sound vocational education and training in foundational areas such as analysis, algebra, geometry and probability theory. In addition, students familiarize themselves with the entire spectrum of modern applied mathematics: mathematical economics, financial mathematics, engineering mathematics, biomathematics and big data. You can further pursue all of these areas subsequently in one of our master's programs.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate, you possess a deeper understanding of the core mathematical areas of analysis, linear algebra and discrete structures. From the first semester onwards, you will have been able to expand your knowledge through minors offered in economics, computer science, physics and electrical engineering.
Given the advanced courses on offer in mathematics, financial mathematics, biomathematics, mathematical economics and engineering mathematics, you will have been able to start to select your own specialties; you also have deeper insights into the fields of application of modern mathematics.
You understand complex relations, recognize structures and are also able to apply mathematics when seeking solutions to specific applications. Given the interdisciplinary orientation of the bachelor's program, you also have at your disposal a broad spectrum of skills relating to teamwork, communications and linguistic competency. A four-week professional internship will have provided you with your first practical experience of the application of mathematics, which you will have reflected upon and evaluated during the internship seminar.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Most graduates continue their studies in the form of a master’s program. Should do decide to enter into professional employment after concluding the bachelor's program, opportunities then arise in many different sectors. By way of example, these include finance and insurance sectors, auditing, consulting, logistics, biotechnology, robotics, IT and software or education.
Structure
The bachelor's degree begins in the classic manner with introductory lectures on analysis as well as linear algebra and discrete structures. Here you acquire fundamental knowledge of methods and theory that you can confidently build upon during the course of your degree. Beyond which, beginning in the first semester, you work towards the completion of a minor in economics, computer science, physics or electrical engineering. In the fifth and sixth semesters there are additional advanced courses in mathematics, financial mathematics, biomathematics, mathematical economics or engineering mathematics.
The degree concludes with the bachelor’s thesis.

Qualifications
The Aptitude Recommendation is a mandatory part of the application process. It is a two-part procedure evaluating your ability to successfully manage the particular qualitative requirements of the bachelor’s program.
In the first stage, your overall secondary school grades, your grades in subject-specific courses, and any relevant practical experience or additional qualifications will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted or invited to a mandatory interview.
