The master’s degree program in mathematics comprises several coordinated areas. The foundational area covers two of the three fields (A-C): algebra, algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and number theory (A); differential equations, analysis, functional analysis, differential geometry, and mathematical physics (B); and numerics and stochastics (C). The specialization area allows for specialization in a cycle such as algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, functional analysis, partial differential equations, differential geometry, or stochastics. This section also serves to prepare you for the master’s thesis. In the supplementary area, knowledge in other mathematical disciplines is acquired through a versatile and changing range of courses. Additionally, two main seminars foster the ability to present research results and independently explore mathematical content. The minor you choose also provides insights into another scientific discipline, such as physics, computer science, meteorology, biology, philosophy, or economics. Instead of a minor, you can also attend additional mathematics lectures. The program concludes with the master’s thesis in the chosen specialization area and a subsequent oral examination.

Further details on the study content and structure of the program of study can be found in the module handbook and in the examination regulations, which can be downloaded from our download center for mathematics.
