Technomathematics (Industrial Mathematics) TU Dortmund University

The "Industrial Mathematics" specialisation in the Master’s degree programme in Technomathematics is completed entirely in English. 

There is an extended course offer available in German. 

Not least for everyday life, knowledge of German is an advantage. We encourage you to learn German during your studies.

The international Master's programme in Industrial Mathematics is the English-language version of the Master's programme in Technomathematics. The combination of pure and in particular applied mathematics (numerics, optimisation, scientific computing) together with many computer science components and with applications from natural sciences and engineering in the minor subject represents a very modern and also internationally attractive course of study. It is thus particularly attractive for foreign students. By integrating practice-oriented study projects and also industrial internships in cooperation with regional industrial companies from the Dortmund area and the Ruhr region, a study programme is created that develops a great incentive for foreign (and domestic) students as well as for regional industrial companies and research institutions as potential employers.

A university with a unique profile:
Since its founding in 1968, TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity has developed a special profile encompassing 17 departments ranging from science and engineering to social sciences and cultural studies. The uni­ver­si­ty has around 30,000 students and more than 6,500 employees, in­clu­ding 330 professors. 5,800 of all students have an international background, which constitutes 19.5% of the total student body.

TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity has a strong focus on re­search. The uni­ver­si­ty’s departments – e.g. mechanical engineering (with its emphasis on production and logistics), physics, biochemical and chemical engineering, statistics and computer science, and education re­search – are well known for their outstanding re­search achievements both nationally and internationally.

Students at TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity can choose from classical subjects and in­no­va­ti­ve courses of study such as medical physics or degree programmes in spatial planning, statistics, and journalism. A particular focus is on teacher train­ing. TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity is one of only a few universities in Germany that offers professional teaching qualifications for all types of schools.

TU Dortmund University is part of the Uni­ver­sity Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr). Together with its partner universities, Ruhr University Bochum and the University of Duisburg-Essen, the UA Ruhr is one of the largest and most powerful university alliances in Germany. The alliance is strong in international research and offers students the opportunity to participate in courses offered by all three universities and earn credits with minimal bureaucratic effort.

With more than 6,500 employees, TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity is one of Dort­mund’s largest employers and has helped drive the transformation of the city and the Ruhr region from Europe’s largest coal mining and steel production area into a high-tech and service location as well as a cultural metropolis.

Dortmund is located in the heart of Europe. It is the largest city in the Ruhr region and is home to the Borussia Dortmund (BVB) soccer club. All of this contributes to the many advantages that will make studying in Dort­mund an unforgettable experience.
