Bachelor Applied Mathematics

The HFT offers you an attractive course of study with basic mathematical training and practical applications of mathematical methods.

With us you also have the choice: you can choose to specialize in either Financial and Actuarial Mathematics (business mathematics) or Algorithm Engineering (computer science), thus preparing you for your future career. A wide range of electives gives you the opportunity to further sharpen your individual profile. Students of the study variant Maths² - Work & Study already work in a cooperating company during their studies and can directly deepen what they have learned in practice.

In the basic studies you will be taught fundamental contents of mathematics and computer science.
You complete the basic studies with the bachelor's preliminary examination.

At the beginning of the main studies, from the third semester, you can choose between our two specializations in order to prepare yourself optimally for your later professional life. The specialization in Financial and Actuarial Mathematics includes additional courses such as Statistics, Operations Research and Business Administration. The specialization Algorithm Engineering deals with the design and concrete application of algorithms as well as their theoretical and experimental analysis.

The study program is supplemented by a practical semester, the so-called Supervised Practical Study Project, in which the previously acquired knowledge is put into practice and deepened. You will carry out the supervised practical study project in a company in Germany or abroad.

As a special feature in the field of mathematics we offer the study variant Maths² - Work & Study. In this form of dual study, you work in a cooperating company from the very beginning and study mathematics in parallel in the Bachelor's degree program. In this way, you can consolidate what you have learned directly in practice and gain your first valuable experience in professional life. You can find more information about this study option on the Maths² - Work & Study page.

The application for the Bachelor's program in Mathematics is done online. Prerequisite for admission is a certificate of general qualification for university entrance, a subject-related higher education entrance qualification, a certificate of entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences or equivalent foreign educational qualifications.

The University of Newcastle (Australia) offers two tuition-free places per year for HFT students, to which mathematics students can also apply.
