The master degree program in mathematics is accredited since 2022.
Standard period of study:
4 semesters
Start of studies:
usually with the fall term
Entrance requirement:
Bachelor degree in Mathematics or equivalent degree.
Application
There is no admission restriction for this degree program. Application is made
online.
The respective study program is called "Mathematik".
Die Flexibilität im Studienaufbau gestattet die Durchführung eines oder mehrerer Auslandssemester.
Students are given the opportunity to major in a variety of mathematical areas, including Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, Discrete
Mathematics, Numerical Mathematics, Optimization, Stochastics, Data Science, as well as Financial and Business Mathematics.
Special attention is also given to the wide range of options for applying the mathematical techniques within a minor. The broad choices
include Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Economics, Sensor Technology and
Cognition, as well as Psychology.
Mathematical subjects are taught in advanced courses that encompass the major areas of mathematics and the core competencies of
the Faculty of Mathematics. The breadth of the education is ensured by the fact that at least four of them are to be developed in the
course of study. Accompanying this, an advanced seminar is to be completed which, in addition to the independent study of scientific
literature, is to prepare the student for the master thesis. The study of a non-mathematical minor to be chosen should have the effect of
expanding competence.

Master Thesis
Mathematicians are characterized not only by their theoretically sound and at the same time application-ready knowledge, but also by
their ability to think logically, to abstract, by their analytical mind, linguistic accuracy, persistence in solving problems and team spirit.
Attention is paid to the development of these skills in the study of mathematics in Chemnitz, and it is not least these very skills that open
up the best career prospects for mathematicians. Since the sciences are having an ever greater influence on the development of
modern industrial societies, the interdisciplinary interaction of the various branches is of particular importance today. Mathematics
education in Chemnitz has such interdisciplinary features with the wide selection of technical, natural and/or social science minor
subjects.
Graduates of the master program in mathematics are versatile and find employment in the
following branches of industry and commerce, among others:
Management consulting and insurance companies
Technology centers and high-tech companies
Banks and financial institutions
Software companies and telecommunications
Information technology
Mechanical engineering
Teaching and science
Development and research
Aerospace and aviation
Logistics and automotive industry
Graduates of the master program have good opportunities for higher career entry in companies and the possibility of further qualification
in the college and university sector due to their special training. The unemployment rate for mathematicians is very low. According to the
Federal Statistical Office, it was 2.6% in 2016. According to gehaltsreporter.de, starting salaries in 2019 averaged 52,300 euros gross.
