The Bachelor's degree program in Mathematics at the KU qualifies you both for a career start and for subsequent Master's studies at the KU or any other European university. The contents of the degree program are both theoretical and application-oriented: While you will receive a broad mathematical education at the KU, you will also gain a profound insight into the many applications of mathematics – whether through lectures such as numerics, scientific computing, or in the chosen orientation subject.
In order to ideally prepare you for your career start, the Bachelor's program in Mathematics at the KU is rounded off by allowing students to choose one of the following specializations (minor subjects):
- Business Mathematics (Mathematics, Economics and Computer Science),
- Geography,
- Empirical Sciences (Psychology, Sociology),
- Philosophy
The choice of your orientation is thus very flexible. Due to our very transparent and easily comprehensible Bachelor’s examination regulations, it is easy for our students to integrate contents of other courses than the one they chose into their studies. For example, basic modules in Geography or Psychology can be also taken in the specialization Business Mathematics. It is also possible to include subject-specific Computer Science modules such as Geoinformatics, Business Informatics or computer-oriented modules of Applied Mathematics in the course of studies.
The flexible choice of study contents refers not only to the specialization, but to the entire study program. This allows students to choose part of their lectures from fields that are different from pure and applied mathematics. This overall concept allows you to design your own individual study program in an attractive and self-determined way.
The program in detail
Contents
In short, the study program usually proceeds as follows: In the first two semesters, the program mainly consists of required lectures that lay the foundation in analysis and linear algebra. In addition, you will receive an introduction to programming techniques and statistical work. Building on this, lectures are chosen from a wide range of required electives in the second year. In the third year, you will choose a field of specialization in which you will later write your Bachelor's thesis. Parallel to the mathematics lectures, you will attend courses from your chosen field of specialization.
Due to the above-mentioned flexible design options of the study program, the study courses of our students typically differ considerably from each other. However, a possible program structure could for example look like the following:
Structure
Semester 1
Analysis I, Linear Algebra I, Introduction to Programming Techniques, Introduction to Statistical Work
Semester 2
Analysis II, Linear Algebra II and Analytical Geometry
Semester 3
Integration Theory, Basic Concepts of Algebra, Introduction to Stochastics, Numerics
Semester 4
Probability Theory, Algebra with Elements of the Galois Theory, Linear Optimization, Computational Science
Semester 5
Applied Statistics with R, Function Theory, Integer Optimization/Discrete Mathematics
Semester 6
Differential Equations, Mathematical Software, Function Theory II, Bachelor's Seminar
Bachelor's Thesis
Rankings and assessments
KU students and alumni have voted for their University to be Germany's most popular university in the 2024 ranking of the online portal StudyCheck. This is the third time in a row, as KU was also voted the most popular university in 2021 and 2022. The ranking was based on over 78,000 evaluations for more than 500 higher education institutions and universities. 97 percent of students questioned for the ranking would recommend studying at the KU to others.
"There is no better praise for a university than almost 100 percent of students and alumni agreeing: I can only recommend studying at the KU! That is why we are very pleased with the ranking’s outcome, because it expresses the high level of satisfaction of our students," says KU President Prof. Dr. Gabriele Gien.
Studying abroad
The KU maintains a partnership network with around 300 universities worldwide. The KU International Office supports students in the planning phase and provides information on different financing possibilities for stays abroad.
Practical connection
There is no required internship in this program. However, students have the possibility to complete an internship in a private or public institution in order to be able to build a contact network for possible later professional fields at an early stage. Students also have the possibility to complete their internship abroad; for individual advice and support in finding an internship and financing possibilities, the KU Career Service and the International Internship Service are happy to help.
Career possibilities and professional fields
Career prospects
Furthermore, the Bachelor’s degree program in Mathematics enables students to pursue subsequent Master’s studies in Mathematics or in the chosen orientation at a university of their choice. In addition, graduates have a wide range of career options, e.g. at insurance companies, banks, IT service providers and management consulting firms. The employment opportunities are excellent, in particular with an additional Master’s degree.
The KU
The KU has two campuses: Eichstätt and Ingolstadt. Seven faculties are located in Eichstätt. The Ingolstadt School of Management (WFI) and MIDS (Institute of Applied Mathematics, Machine Learning and Data Science) are located on our Ingolstadt campus.
This degree program is taught on our Eichstätt campus.
Studying in Eichstätt
Study location
The district of Eichstätt and the city of Ingolstadt are located in the heart of Bavaria. This central location also means that the KU is easy to reach. Eichstätt impresses with its unique combination of baroque architecture, modern amenities and the picturesque nature of the Altmühltal natural park.
Campus
Short distances and lavish green spaces characterize the KU campus in Eichstätt. The KU is a campus University with modern facilities. The buildings on campus are located close to the Eichstätt old town.
More than just a degree
Studying at the KU not only provides you with the specialist knowledge you need, but also aims to open up real future prospects for its students. We want to support our students in finding their own personal path to their individual dream future! The question is not "What career do I want to pursue?", but rather "Who do I want to be?"
Advisory Service
Some offers and study conditions are different for international students – our International Office is happy to provide help and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our team. We are happy to accompany you on your way to the KU and hope that we can welcome you in person soon!
