Comparison: Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science

Bachelor of Arts (2-subject bachelor's degree)

  • teaches the basics of mathematics and its first applications
  • roughly divided into 2 parts:
    • learning mathematical thinking and calculation techniques as well as performing first proofs based on the modules Analysis I,II and Linear Algebra and Geometry I,II
    • attendance of 3 advanced lectures from Probability Theory/Statistics, Analysis and Algebra as well as attending a proseminar and seminar, in which a mathematical topic is worked out by oneself and then presented to the course participants
  • the focus is on application orientation and professional range
  • in addition, another subject is studied. Here you find all possible subject combinations
  • in addition, in a studium generale  (in German: Optionalbereich) you choose a profile
  • prospects: enrollment in a master's degree program in mathematics or in subjects with a mathematical application context.

Bachelor of Science (1-subject bachelor's degree)

  • teaches the basics of mathematics and how to use the mathematical toolbox
  • 1st year of study: learning mathematical thinking and calculation techniques as well as performing first proofs based on the modules Analysis I,II, Linear Algebra and Geometry I,II and Introduction to Programming
  • 2nd year of study: lectures in Analysis III, Algebra and Number Theory, Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics, Numerics, Data Structures and Cryptography as well as taking a proseminar in which a mathematical topic is worked out by the student and subsequently presented to the course participants
  • 3rd year of study: advanced lectures in analysis, algebra, applied mathematics as well as choice of a specialization area
  • in addition a minor subject is studied. By choosing a minor subject, you can tailor your studies to your interests in mathematical application areas right from the start
  • the special feature: with us, Computer Science can be taken as a minor subject - the optimal combination for those with an affinity for computer science and who are interested in the mathematical fundamentals
