The Master's programme in Mathematics aims to train application-oriented mathematicians with in-depth knowledge and skills on the basis of a first university degree in mathematics or a mathematical-scientific or technical subject with substantial mathematical content. With the majors Financial and Actuarial Mathematics and Algorithm Engineering, the study program is geared towards a mathematical field of application. The programme is offered both full-time (standard period of study three semesters) and part-time (standard period of study five semesters).
Please note that the lecture language is mainly German.

3 Semester Full-Time | 5 Semester Part-Time
Master of Science (M.Sc.)
Modules of pure and applied mathematics are offered on a scientific basis, computer science modules are to be taken as a subsidiary subject. The teaching of key qualifications is integrated in all courses.
With the specialisation to be chosen by the students before the start of their studies, the course of study is geared towards a mathematical field of application. The aim is to deepen and broaden the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor's programme. In the offered specializations Algorithm Engineering (AE) and Financial and Actuarial Mathematics (FV), students learn to understand complex relationships and to develop solutions with mathematical methods

The Master's programme in Mathematics prepares students for management and development tasks and opens the door to the higher service. After successful completion of the course, there are a wide range of job opportunities with very good career prospects in banks and insurance companies, building societies, IT and telecommunications companies, statistical offices, research and development departments of industry and commercial enterprises as well as software houses and management consultancies. The degree qualifies for a possible doctorate.
Martina Rahija spent the summer semester of 2021 as an exchange student in Split. In her Report she explains the requirements for the semester abroad and reports about her everyday life as a student in the field of mathematics. Of course, she also talks about events and excursions organized by the Erasmus Student Network. She also talks about general topics such as housing, food and the weather in Split. This report is very helpful for future exchange students with its practical tips.
