Business Mathematics, B.Sc.
The study of business mathematics is a mathematics course in which basic structures and techniques are introduced that enable the analysis and solution of mathematical problems as they occur in the finance and insurance industry. Relevant courses in financial and insurance mathematics, economics and statistics are therefore integrated into the course. In addition, with the help of numerical methods, the students learn how to implement abstract mathematical solution methods on the computer.

Programme selection →What you study
The bachelor's degree in Business Mathematics leads to a professional degree in the standard period of study of 6 semesters. It consists of 22 compulsory and at least 5 compulsory elective courses and concludes with a bachelor thesis. The introductory mathematics lectures take place together with the Bachelor of Mathematics. A total of 180 points according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS points) must be acquired as part of this bachelor’s degree. This is done by passing the examinations belonging to the individual courses and by successfully working on the bachelor thesis, whereby a certain number of ECTS points are acquired in each case.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
