Technomathematics (Master)

The digitalization of the working world is also opening up new career prospects for mathematicians. The University of Kassel is responding to this with a new degree course in Technomathematics, which combines computer science and engineering with mathematics.

Anyone who has developed a desire for more during their Bachelor's degree and is planning a career in the broad fields of industry, especially in software or research and development departments, should opt for the Master's degree course in Technomathematics. Graduates are able to recognize, classify, formulate and solve complex problems of all kinds with mathematical relevance. The focus of the Master's degree course is based on the choice of mathematical specializations and application subjects. You can choose from: Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Engineering.

The central research focus of the Institute of Mathematics lies in the current areas of analysis, computer algebra, optimization, stochastics and numerics. The special feature of mathematics - and especially technomathematics - at the University of Kassel is its computer and application orientation, which is particularly evident in interdisciplinary projects with the engineering sciences. All of this is necessary, but not sufficient, as one would say in mathematics: personally, a high level of scientific and technical interest, a fundamentally analytical and logical way of thinking, perseverance and, if possible, a good command of English for dealing with specialist literature are required.

On the subject of job prospects: The fact that there is no classic job description of "mathematician" also results in a lot of freedom. In fact, technomathematics graduates are sought-after specialists in a wide variety of fields. This opens many doors, especially to well-paid management positions.
