The aim of the interdisciplinary Master's degree course in Business Mathematics is to qualify students for a career in the fields of industry, banking, insurance, logistics, software development and research. The research-oriented training prepares graduates in particular for lifelong learning.

The Bachelor's degree program in Business Mathematics is offered at the KIT Faculty of Mathematics.

Specialist core competencies

Graduates have a broad knowledge of mathematical and economic methods, including specific methods and techniques in the fields of analysis, applied and numerical mathematics, optimization, stochastics, finance, risk management, managerial economics and operations management, data analysis and computer science. They are able to analyze and explain current, complex issues in these areas. They can use and combine methods from economics and mathematics and work in an interdisciplinary manner. Based on these methods, they are able to work on practical and research-relevant issues. Graduates have trained analytical thinking and can work independently and reflectively. They are also able to acquire additional knowledge for further questions on their own.

Interdisciplinary skills

Graduates are able to analyze, evaluate and solve problems in new and unfamiliar situations that have a multidisciplinary connection to their studies using the skills they have acquired. They are able to integrate their knowledge independently, deal with high complexity and have perseverance in solving difficult problems. They know how to document, illustrate and interpret the results obtained in a target-oriented manner. In doing so, they always take social, scientific and ethical constraints into account. They can discuss problems and solutions at a scientific level with experts and laypersons, argue and defend a point of view. They also have the ability to work in a team and can apply their knowledge in a target-oriented manner.

Learning outcomes

Graduates are able to name, explain and independently apply in-depth mathematical methods in economics. They are also able to identify the area of application of these methods. Graduates have an understanding of economic processes and can take a position on economic issues. They acquire an in-depth understanding of mathematical methods from the fields of analysis, applied and numerical mathematics, optimization and stochastics.
