Career perspectives
Mathematicians know how to apply, develop and implement mathematical structures and procedures to solve practical problems. In this endeavour, structured and analytical thinking are of great importance. A degree in Mathematics trains these key qualifications particularly.
The Mathematics master’s programme prepares you for a career in financial institutions, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, software enterprises and other areas. It is also the foundation for a doctoral degree.
You should look at your studies as an opportunity to train your abstract thinking. It is not necessarily the examination contents that will help you in your job later on, but the skill to recognise and utilise mathematical correlations.
