Information for prospective students

Before studying the following questions are frequently asked:

• Am I suitable for studying mathematics?
• Which study programmes are available at the Department of Mathematics?
• Which questions are dealt with in final theses?
• What career opportunities do I have with a degree in mathematics?

In order to answer these and similar questions from students, we (currently the professors are F. Liers and C. Meusburger) offer a visit to schools in the region. A 45-minutes or 90-minutes lesson is planned. In the second case, in addition to providing information and answering questions, there will be time for a lecture that will provide an insight into current research. Kontakt: Frau I. Moch

In the week before the start of lectures in the winter semester, an orientation week is offered for all first-year students of the mathematics programs as well as Data Science and Physics, which we strongly recommend each and every “new student” to attend. All necessary information can be found here.

If you’re still unsure whether a traditional degree program, a dual study program, or perhaps vocational training is right for you, you can get some initial guidance from the Career Path Check offered by the Ausbildungsoffensive Bayern.

On Hochschulkompass.de you can take an interest assessment to help you decide which degree program is right for you.
