The subject group mathematics and natural sciences is all about getting to the bottom of things. In mathematics, you solve specific tasks using logical thinking and by applying mathematical methods and algorithms. In the natural sciences, such as chemistry or physics, you will also use mathematical methods to research fundamental laws. You will then test these in practical experiments - be it in nature or in the laboratory.

To pursue a course of study in mathematics or the natural sciences, you will most likely need a higher education entrance qualification, i.e., the German Abitur or an international equivalent. Most of the fields of study, in particular the classical subjects such as physics or mathematics, are only offered at universities. Some fields of study, especially interdisciplinary degree programmes in nutritional or environmental sciences, are taught at universities of applied sciences. A subject-specific higher education entrance qualification is sufficient for these subjects. Some fields of study may have additional requirements such as minimum grade averages.
If you are interested in studying any of the subjects in the field of mathematics and natural sciences, you should have a passion for the natural sciences. Curiosity and perseverance are equally important qualities to have in this field.
Graduates of the field of mathematics or the natural sciences generally have very good options on the job market. The broad-ranging scientific knowledge as well as the analytical and logical thinking skills acquired in these programmes are very much in demand.
