How is the study program structured?

Students in the bachelor's program in technomathematics usually graduate after six semesters. Since this is an interdisciplinary program, they take courses from the three pillars of mathematics, computer science and an engineering science as an application focus. The first four semesters form the foundation area. In mathematics, students acquire basic knowledge in the areas of analysis, numerics and stochastics. In addition, they attend introductory courses in their chosen engineering science. To round things off, there is an introduction to computer science with the teaching of basic programming skills as well as getting to know mathematical software. Most of these courses take the form of lectures with accompanying exercises in smaller groups. In addition, there are seminars and, in some cases, practical courses.

The last two semesters form the specialization area, in which the students make a selection according to their personal interests from a pool of specialized courses. In mathematics, the specialization areas of analysis, numerics, optimization and stochastics are offered here. In the application specialization, the courses offered depend on the engineering science chosen. In addition to lectures with exercises and seminars, students must also complete a ten-week internship in which they gain an initial insight into the use of technomathematics in practice. The final part of the program is a nine-week bachelor thesis, in which the students deal intensively with a concrete technomathematical topic. In the specialization area there is also the possibility to spend a semester abroad.
