Mathematical Economics, B.Sc.
In the bachelor's program in Business Mathematics, you will learn how to find application-oriented mathematical solutions to problems in industry, business and administration. The mathematical part of the degree teaches you skills, theory and methods in the areas of analysis, linear algebra, computer-oriented mathematics, numerical mathematics and probability theory. In the course of your studies, you can then choose a major from various mathematical disciplines in a specialization area and thus specialize. In addition to the mathematical part, you will acquire economic skills. For example, they deal with accounting and cost accounting, marketing and production management, investment and financing, as well as organization and innovation management. The course gives you an interdisciplinary understanding and introduces you to the possibilities of using mathematics in economic application areas.

Will I get in
Every applicant who meets the formal requirements is admitted — but places can run out before the deadline, so apply at the start of the window.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge of scientific facts as well as mathematical methods and skills. In addition to knowledge of mathematical methods, the course should acquire and develop skills for mathematizing concrete problems, analyzing the structures on which they are based, finding approaches to solutions based on existing methods or methods that need to be expanded, and realizing solutions, especially using computers. By studying the business administration area, in addition to specific specialist knowledge, an interdisciplinary understanding is imparted and the possibilities of using mathematics in a specific area of application are introduced. An obligatory internship in a suitable commercial enterprise or data processing company serves to create a stronger connection to the work and tasks of a mathematician in practice.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Graduates of the bachelor's degree in business mathematics have various options: a further master's degree in mathematics or business mathematics to deepen their knowledge and specialization or to start their career directly. You will find possible professional opportunities in industry, business and administration, usually with a focus on data processing, for example in the areas of operations research, planning and logistics, consulting, insurance and investment banking.

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 C1 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 via uni-assist until 28.02uni-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.
