The course of study
Mathematics (Greek: The art of learning) is one of the oldest sciences and deals both with the analysis of abstract structures and with techniques for modelling and solving complex problems. Mathematics is now a key technology with many areas of application and very good career opportunities.
In the Bachelor's programme in Mathematics, you will acquire basic mathematical knowledge and skills. By choosing an application subject (science and technology, business mathematics or philosophy), the course of study also gives you competences in another subject. In the higher semesters, you will set your own priorities through numerous options. The course is complemented by software internships and an optional industrial internship.
After graduation, you will be able to work as a mathematician in one of the many fields of application or to deepen your knowledge in a master's degree program in mathematics.

✓ Possibility to work as a student assistant
✓ Practical relevance through economic cooperations / school cooperations
Career prospects
The career opportunities of mathematicians are extremely diverse and range from risk forecasting, modelling of financial derivatives, coding technology, diagnostic methods from medicine and technology to numerical simulation and optimization of complex models to data and process analysis. Typical occupational fields are:
- Finance and insurance
- Industrial research and development
- Health Care and Public Service
- IT and software industry
- consulting
- Market research

This is what Anna Katharina Albus says about her course of study:
“Even after the first lecture, I knew: I'm in the right place!”

That it should continue after school with a math study, was clear early on. Finally, the decision was made for the University of Siegen and already after the first lecture I knew: I'm right here!
Yes, math is demanding. But in mathematics, you meet people who tick like you do. For some, this is a completely new experience after school. New contacts are made quickly. You form learning groups, support each other and the student life apart from lectures and exercises was definitely not too short.
Mathematics in Siegen is a rather small department. This is a great advantage for students: The doors of the offices are open at any time. It rarely takes an appointment for a consultation. Just look at the teachers or their employees when questions arise.
In addition, lecture requests from the student body are taken up again and again, so that you can also choose an event away from the usual canon.
If I had to start over, I would probably decide differently here and there. But I would definitely start a math study in Siegen again.
Admission requirements
The B.Sc. Mathematics always begins in the winter and summer semesters. Requirements for access are the general university entrance qualification, the subject-specific university entrance qualification or the technical college entrance qualification. Applicants with a subject-specific university entrance qualification or a technical college entrance qualification must meet certain entry requirements: Information on application and enrolment
