Computational Mathematics, B.Sc.
The aim of the Computational Mathematics bachelor's degree is a well-founded mathematical education with a special focus on application-relevant methods and algorithms that are implemented with the help of a computer. An in-depth qualification is placed on one of the areas of simulation, optimization, data analysis and data security. Its conception as an 8-semester Bachelor and its vertical structure in streams supports an independent and long-term success-oriented design of the course by the students. After graduation, graduates will also have good abstraction skills, excellent methodological skills and skills in implementing their ideas on the computer.

Programme selection →What you study
The "Computational Mathematics" bachelor's degree provides a solid mathematical education with a special focus on application-relevant methods and algorithms that are implemented with the help of a computer. Therefore, programming skills and the necessary basics from computer science and, if necessary, natural or engineering sciences are imparted. On this basis, students can currently choose between three different current specialization areas (streams):

Pick programmesCareer
The high demand for well-trained workers with in-depth computer skills is well known. Graduates typically work in the scientific and technical field, for example in research and development departments in industry and science, and are in great demand due to their excellent methodological skills in the areas of simulation, optimization, data analysis and data security. Graduates therefore have the tools not only to apply, but also to further develop the relevant methodology in these areas.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | German B2 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | uni-assist (VPD) + the university, winter semester until 15.07 |
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.
- 2German up to B2 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application uni-assist (VPD) + the university until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, 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.
