BSc in Applied Mathematics

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS) is designed to equip students with the mathematical skills required to solve complex industrial engineering problems. This program encompasses a comprehensive curriculum that integrates theoretical knowledge with practical applications, making it an ideal choice for those interested in bridging the gap between mathematics and the engineering industry.

Over the course of 7 semesters, students engage in various modules that cover critical areas such as numerical analysis, optimization, statistics, and mathematical modelling. The programme is structured to provide a well-rounded education, culminating in a thesis project that showcases the students' ability to apply their mathematical expertise in real-world scenarios. Additionally, the internship semester allows students to gain hands-on experience in the field, further enhancing their employability.

This degree programme is particularly suited for individuals who possess strong analytical skills and a keen interest in applying mathematical concepts to practical challenges. By progressing through the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) framework, students not only gain substantial knowledge but also enhance their problem-solving abilities and critical thinking skills essential for success in various industries.

Studying in Germany, where the Mittelstand plays a crucial role in the economy, provides ample opportunities for students. With an 18-month post-study job-seeking permit, graduates can explore career options in a robust job market while potentially working part-time during their studies. This context allows students to build valuable professional networks and gain insights into the German industrial landscape.
