Master of Science in Mathematics

The Master's programme in Mathematics offers an opportunity to delve deeper into the fascinating world of modern mathematics. Building on a solid foundation, students can pursue individual specialisations in both pure and applied mathematics – from algebra and geometry to numerical simulation, statistics, and mathematical modelling. The programme fosters analytical thinking, creativity, and precision – skills that are highly valued in both academia and industry. A Master's degree in Mathematics opens up a wide range of career opportunities, including positions in research, technology, finance, and data analysis. The mathematics programme in Greifswald is characterised by excellent, personalised support and small study groups and offers a wide range of elective and specialisation options. Students take modules from four areas: Algebra, Geometry, and Topology Discrete Mathematics Computer Science, Numerical Mathematics, and Optimisation Mathematical Modelling, Statistics, and Stochastics They can determine the weighting of these areas themselves. The programme typically concludes in the fourth semester with a Master's thesis, which students complete under the supervision of an adviser of their choice.
