The Bachelor in Mathematics - a solid career foundation

Come to Brandenburg to study mathematics and experience a science rich in tradition with exciting, ever new applications. Behind every innovation is a good portion of mathematical knowledge. For example, internet search engines, medical imaging processes or robot workflows can only function smoothly thanks to the application of the latest mathematical techniques. Simulation calculations for weather forecasting or crash tests of vehicles also use their findings. In short, our modern society is inconceivable without mathematics.

The Bachelor's degree programme in Mathematics enables you to see through the code that describes the most diverse areas of society and the natural sciences. Because only those who understand the innermost driving forces behind everything can use this knowledge to reshape the world. Therefore, studying mathematics in Brandenburg is a solid foundation for your future career.

The remainder is divided between the internship and the interdisciplinary studies (FÜS), which enables students to look beyond their own horizons and broaden their horizons. The BTU offers an excellently equipped library and modern computer rooms with the mathematical software that is important for studying. Cottbus as a place to study is characterised by affordable rents and short distances; everything can be reached quickly on foot or by bike.

Study Mathematics as a dual study-work programme

The study programme Mathematics, B.Sc. will also be offered as a dual practice-integrated programme (7 semesters) from WS 23/24.

Das Mathe-Studium ist nicht bloß stumpfes Abarbeiten von Rechenmustern, sondern wie die Suche nach der Lösung eines Rätsels. Mir gefällt außerdem das Studium an einer kleinen Uni in einer kleinen Fachschaft sehr gut! Es ist familiär, jeder kennt jeden und der Kontakt zu den Professoren ist großartig.
