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.).
