Study

This pathway is for you, if you have a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Management or an applied subject. The Mathematics and Management bachelor's and master’s programmes are consecutive, with the master’s seamlessly building on the bachelor's programme. The master's programme teaches you in-depth knowledge in the areas of mathematics, management and informatics and is equivalent in its standards and requirements to the former German 'Diplom'.

Please see the module handbook for an overview of the current course offers.

The master’s programme Mathematics and Management builds on, expands and deepens the knowledge acquired in the bachelor's programme. You learn how to independently conduct scientific work and can emphasise certain areas of personal interest and skills.

Expanding you horizon, immersing yourself in different cultures – such experiences are more important than ever in the age of globalisation. We thus put a strong focus on the internationalisation of our programmes and strongly support semesters and internships abroad. Our cooperations with high-ranking partner universities offer fantastic opportunities for you to take your studies overseas. You can find further information <link en mawi mawi-ausland internal link in current>here.

Career perspectives

The master’s programme focuses on methodological competences rather than the preparation for a specific profession.

The Mathematics and Management pathway prepares you for professions that require a combination of analytical and management thinking.
Our graduates have excellent career perspectives. They work for financial service providers, insurance companies, business consultancies or software companies, just to name a few, and many have outstanding careers to show for themselves.

Graduate testimonial

I studied Mathematics and Management with the specilisation Actuarial Science at Ulm University. During my studies I was able to complete almost all certificates that are required by the German Actuarial Association (DAV) to work as an actuary. This is a unique offer by Ulm University and tremendously helpful for the career start!
