About the programme

The Technomathematics Master of Science is offered jointly by Universität Hamburg's Department of Mathematics and the Hamburg University of Technology. It focuses on technical topics in mathematics, with a research profile of about 60% mathematics, 20% informatics in engineering and 20% technology. In the first year you take core courses such as optimisation and approximation, partial differential equations and computational science; in the third semester you go deeper in one area per field, choosing from mathematics, engineering and informatics; your thesis in the fourth semester is in optimisation, differential equations or numerics. The programme is taught in English, lasts four semesters and starts in winter or summer. It suits graduates in mathematics with technology coursework, or in engineering with a maths focus. Graduates can work on simulation and optimisation problems with engineers, in research, software development and consulting.
