Master of Science in Mathematics

Innovations in technology and business increasingly depend on the use and professional handling of sophisticated mathematical methods. In order to develop these, a profound understanding of pure and applied mathematics is required. The profile of the Master's degree course in Mathematics at Trier University is based on these considerations. It emphasises the acquisition of sound mathematical knowledge in the fields of analysis, numerical mathematics, optimisation, stochastics and scientific computing. Students acquire specialist knowledge, skills and methods that will enable them to carry out scientific work, critically evaluate scientific findings and act responsibly in the long term. The course is characterised by a high degree of elective options. After the basic and compulsory Master's in-depth modules, students are given the opportunity to put together a study programme according to their own preferences. Furthermore, in a supplementary free elective area, students acquire in-depth knowledge from a range of topics chosen according to their personal inclinations. The programme in Mathematics is inherently interdisciplinary and highly supports key qualifications that benefit interdisciplinary research work. Important in this context is the fact that students also take courses from the free elective area of Trier University. PDF Download
