- Description/content
- Are you an inquisitive person who likes getting to the bottom of things? Do you enjoy solving the odd brain teaser? And when you're working on one, do find you can't stop until you've come up with a solution?
Mathematics is both art and science; it is language, precision and beauty. It is also of fundamental importance to nearly all academic disciplines and an indispensable prerequisite for the development of almost any modern technology you could think of.
This degree programme teaches you a wide range of fundamental structures and methods in mathematics, imparting the necessary foundations of mathematical knowledge and skills to further maximise your choices after you graduate: building on the BSc Mathematics, you can continue your studies and specialise in the mathematical field, follow up with a cross-disciplinary second degree, or alternatively enter the job market in a field that calls for a strongly mathematical background.
Once you graduate from this degree programme, you can follow up with a Master's degree programme, such as our English-taught MSc Computational Mathematics.
English-taught degree programme
Almost all courses are taught in English, with only a few minor exceptions.

Career prospects
Mathematicians have outstanding career prospects, as they are highly sought after wherever high-level analytical thinking skills are a requirement. Mathematicians find employment in almost every segment of the public and private sector.
Many mathematicians find work in the financial services industry, in consulting and auditing, market research, logistics, pharmaceuticals and IT, as well as in the research and development departments of high-tech companies. Graduates aiming for a scientific career path at a university or research institute can continue by studying for a Master’s degree.
