Composition of the Study Programme
Composition of degree programme
The Bachelor’s degree programme in Mathematics consists of
- a compulsory component (mathematics modules totalling 103 credit points)
- a compulsory elective component (44–53 credit points)
- a minor subject (24–33 credit points).
The proportion of mathematics content should be approximately 80%.

Elective modules
For the elective modules, you must select two different modules from lists a and b, choosing one module from each list:
a) Algebra/Analysis/Geometry (AAG): Algebra 2, Topology, Analysis 4, Measure and Integration Theory.
b) Applied Mathematics/Stochastics (AMS): Numerical Mathematics 2, Optimisation, Probability Theory, Measure and Integration Theory.
In addition, you must choose one of the modules ‘Introduction to Programming 1’ or ‘Fundamentals of Programming with Python’. If your minor subject is Computer Science, you may not choose the module ‘Introduction to Programming’. If your minor subject is Data Science, you may not choose the module ‘Fundamentals of Programming with Python’ as a compulsory elective module.
Up to 9 CP may be completed in the area of non-subject-specific skills in order to acquire additional non-subject-specific qualifications. As part of the compulsory elective area, you may also undertake an internship to gain an insight into the professional practice of mathematicians and to acquire job-related knowledge and skills.
Minor subjects
At the moment minor subjects can be:
- Biology
- Chemistry,
- Data Science,
- Geography,
- Informatics,
- Philosophy,
- Physics,
- Psychology and
- Economics/Business Administration.
Module plans
Study plans vary depending on the choice of compulsory elective modules and the minor subject. Information on the range of compulsory elective modules, further sample study plans, and a study plan for part-time study (12 semesters) can be found in the programme-specific study and examination regulations
