Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (Fachbereich Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften) at Hochschule Darmstadt offers bachelor and master programmes in Applied Mathematics, Data Science and Optotechnics & Image Processing, with strong industry links and practice-orientation.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (Fachbereich Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften) at Hochschule Darmstadt (h_da) is dedicated to educating mathematicians and natural-scientists who can apply methods and models to real-world challenges in science, technology, business and administration.

Key characteristics

• The faculty emphasises practice-oriented study: for example the Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics lets students model real problems — from finance to technology.
• It offers very modern and interdisciplinary programmes: besides mathematics it includes fields such as Data Science, Optotechnics & Image Processing, and cooperates with engineering and computer science.
• Dual and cooperative study models are available (theory plus industry practice) enhancing professional readiness.
• The faculty participates in international networks (such as the European University of Technology (EUT+) alliance) and maintains a strong research-and-transfer culture.

Study programmes

The faculty offers e.g. the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Applied Mathematics (6 semesters, language German, starts winter & summer semesters) at Hochschule Darmstadt. Graduates may continue with the Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Applied Mathematics or in Data Science. Further programmes include Optotechnics & Image Processing (B.Sc., M.Sc.) and Data Science (M.Sc.).

Why study here?

Students at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences enjoy a combination of solid theoretical foundations and clear application orientation: modelling, analytics, image processing, and data-driven methods. The dual options and industrial contacts boost employability. Additionally, the faculty’s location in Darmstadt — a tech region in Germany — offers many opportunities.

The Hochschule Darmstadt itself is a University of Applied Sciences with a strong focus on engineering, natural sciences, informatics, design and business, which creates a broad environment for multidisciplinary learning and collaboration.
