Mathematics is not just limited to lessons at school, but is also firmly anchored and present in everyday life, even if this may not be so obvious at first glance, as the findings of mathematical science operate in the background. For example, when driving, on the phone, at the doctor's, at the bank, on the internet, on the smartphone, etc. Mathematics is therefore a central part of our world and continues to grow in importance due to digitalization, for example in data science, artificial intelligence (AI) or cryptography. Studying mathematics is therefore very versatile and offers above-average career prospects. Studying mathematics can only be compared to school mathematics to a limited extent. Students studying mathematics deal with specific theories, theorems, statements, proofs, laws and corresponding methods. Among other things, they attempt to observe, analyze and explain complex and abstract topics and phenomena, or to demonstrate connections. To this end, theoretical and practical skills are taught in the areas of linear algebra, analysis, numerical mathematics, physics, computer science, probability theory and statistics.

Mathematicians are characterized by their analytical, methodical, abstract, differentiated and logical way of thinking when approaching and solving a task or problem. Such thinking is trained and shaped in a mathematics degree course and is extremely popular on the job market, as it can be adapted and applied in practically any field. Studying mathematics means gaining a non-expiring tool for your professional career that opens a wide variety of doors. For example, mathematics graduates can work as teachers, lecturers, in industry, healthcare, banking, the energy sector, IT, insurance or research.
