Technomathematics (Bachelor)

If you want to make a difference with mathematics, study technomathematics!

This can be understood quite literally when it comes to the simulation of crash tests in the automotive industry, the optimization of the hull of a racing yacht or an aircraft, the calculation of traffic flows or the efficient transport of goods by logistics companies, but also in a more figurative sense in the planning of mobile phone or energy networks, the computer-aided search for new drugs, the design of highly integrated computer chips or the calculation of the acoustics of a concert hall. Technomathematicians are trained to solve large and small future tasks in interdisciplinary teams with engineers, technicians and computer scientists.

The Technomathematics degree course starts next winter semester and admission is not restricted. Students take modules in mathematics and computer science as well as in one of four possible areas of specialization: Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Environmental Engineering.

Degree courses with the name Technomathematics have been created at around a dozen universities in recent years. However, the Bachelor's program at the University of Kassel is the only one that offers combination options with environmental engineering and thus enables a strong environmental focus.
