Perspectives

After completing their bachelor's degree in mathematics, many graduates decide to pursue a four-semester master's degree program, which offers numerous elective and specialization options. The master's program in mathematics in Frankfurt is research-oriented, providing graduates with excellent opportunities to pursue a doctorate.

Career horizons for Mathematics graduates are excellent. Typical fields of work include banking, insurance, the software and IT industry, consulting firms, data processing, or research and development. With a master’s degree, there is the opportunity to work as a doctoral researcher and/or academic staff member at a university.

Within Germany, Frankfurt and the entire Rhine-Main region offer particularly many opportunities for mathematicians.

Mathematicians become decision-makers: During their course at university, they learn to analyze structures, draw investigative conclusions, and develop strategies based on them. In fact, mathematicians are employed in leadership roles to guide decision-making processes—across a wide range of areas in business and economics.

Mathematicians develop software: They design and program software—like the kind found in every navigation device. They are involved in leading software projects as well as inventing the necessary processes.

Mathematicians look to the future: They work with data and random processes, contributing to medical research institutions, banks, insurance companies, and statistical offices. Here, they identify trends, assess risks, and create forecasts about how the future will unfold.
