Mathematics in Science and Engineering Technical University of Munich

The programme can be studied completely in English. Participants can choose to write their Master's thesis in English or German.

If a further career in the German-speaking region is planned, especially in engineering professions, it is recommended to acquire German language skills during the course of study, at least at the B1 or B2 level. This also provides greater flexibility, for example, in choosing interesting internship positions.

A high-quality mathematical education with strong knowledge in the fields of analysis, optimisation and stochastics as well as in the appropriate chosen field of application, specialised knowledge in the areas of numerics, visualisation and dynamics, concrete problem-solving utilising computers and specific calculation skills using simulation and optimisation software, development of skills needed to independently familiarise oneself with new fields
