Program Overview
In the master's degree program in Techno-Mathematics at KIT, you no longer have any compulsory courses, but can tailor your studies to your personal interests. All mathematical modules are assigned to one of four mathematical areas: algebra and geometry, analysis, applied and numerical mathematics and stochastics. In the elective areas, you may only choose modules that have not already been used in your bachelor's degree.
Technical Field and Computer Science must comprise a total of at least 35 CP. Within all subjects, you have a large selection of courses to choose from. Finally, you will complete a master's thesis worth 30 CP, in which you can apply the scientific methods you have learned in a research area of your choice.
A detailed study plan and the modules available in the elective areas can be found in the module handbook.
KIT offers a wide range of options for stays abroad, from individual courses to a year abroad. Especially if you are interested in a longer stay abroad, it is advisable to contact the International Students Office early on.
Key Program Features
- • orientation phase before the start of studies for those who have not completed their bachelor's degree at KIT • large selection of technical subjects at other KIT Departments offers you a broader view and individual specialization • many lectures offered in English • attractive and modern department building with many seminar rooms
- workstations
- specialist library and cafeteria • good infrastructure for advisory and counseling services • possibility to write a master's thesis at another KIT Department or in cooperation with a company
Career Opportunities
With a master's degree in Techno-Mathematics, you will be very flexible on the job market, as it is a key science with a technical focus. In addition to strong analytical skills and a structured approach to complex problems, you will have in-depth knowledge of computer science and a technical field of application such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or civil engineering. This will open up excellent career prospects for you as a specialist and manager, both nationally and internationally, wherever complex situations exist in engineering fields and a high degree of reliability and commitment is required. Examples can be found in high-tech in aircraft construction, the automotive industry and robotics. With a master's degree and/or a doctorate, you will often find yourself in a leading position not only in industry, consulting companies and the service sector, but also in (interdisciplinary) research.
