Information

Throughout the program, current topics in applied mathematics and pure mathematics are taught in comprehensive lecture series by internationally renowned scientists. All lecture topics are discussed in depth in tutorial classes so that students get continuous feedback regarding their academic performance. According to personal interest, starting from the second semester, students select one of the fields of specialization "Advanced Pure Mathematics", "Computational Mathematics", or "Data Science". In preparation to the Master's thesis, students will participate in a seminar during the third semester. During the fourth semester students write their Master's thesis on a subject from their field of specialization. The degree Master of Science (MSc) is awarded upon successful completion of the program. During the program, oral exams are taken at the end of each semester.

Mentorship Program for New Students

Starting your studies in a new country can be challenging, especially when visa processing delays prevent you from arriving on time. To support new students in the Master’s program in Advanced and Computational Mathematics at Chemnitz University of Technology, we offer a mentorship program. Experienced students from the same program act as mentors, organizing regular online meetings to help you navigate your studies from day one—even before you arrive in Chemnitz. Through this program, you will:

Connect with your fellow students early on
