Career prospects

This page contains automatically translated content.

With your professional training in mathematics and chemistry and your individual study focus, you will have a wide range of career prospects from science, business and industry, the public service to working in NGOs.

This page gives you a few more examples and further opportunities for further study and information:

Thanks to your basic mathematical training, you will be able to deal with abstract or complex contexts in a structured way and develop a logical approach. In combination with your sound knowledge of chemistry, this enables you to design models and simulations for chemical and scientific contexts, optimize processes and work in areas such as analytics and data processing, research and development, quality assurance and much more.

In addition, by combining it with the integrated sustainability studies, you will have acquired additional qualifications - e.g. in sustainability management and transfer, in application areas of engineering or agriculture, in special fields such as artificial intelligence - that will support you in your career development.

With a focus on sustainability and a move towards data science, you will meet two current developments on the job market and be optimally prepared for future-oriented activities.

Our range of perfectly suited Master's degree programs for you is constantly being revised and expanded. If you would like to get involved in the (further) development of the degree program, please contact the degree programme coordinator.

Within the existing range, for example, the Master's in Mathematics with a focus on nanoscience could be of interest to you.

The University of Kassel's Career Service, for example, offers you a direct point of contact for questions about career fields, application letters and much more.

You can also find further tips, coaching and inspiration from organizations such as the German Chemical Society(GDCh) and the German Mathematics Association(DMV).

Work placements or Bachelor's theses in a practical context are an ideal opportunity to build up contacts for your future career. You can incorporate this into your studies, for example in the Bachelor's degree module (P-BA) or the Sustainability Studies project.

If you are interested, please contact the degree program coordinator or browse through the list of company profiles and internships at Career Services.
