About this programme
Modern mathematics stands out among the sciences because of its abstract beauty and its enormous variety of applications. The list of applications ranges from computer tomography and mobile telephony to image processing and financial mathematics. Studying mathematics provides the tools both for the application of mathematical methods and for the further development of mathematical theories and concepts. The Department of Mathematics at the University of Potsdam offers students friendly, custom-tailored and comprehensive support in every phase of their studies. Studying a related field (such as physics or computer science) as an additional subject also gives you the optional opportunity to apply your mathematical knowledge in a related discipline. This might require additional knowledge of German. The Master's programme builds on the Bachelor’s degree and introduces students to current research questions through individual specialisation. However, the department’s prominent research priorities might be grouped in two distinctive sets of lectures that have an interesting overlap: Structures in mathematics related to a physical background Mathematical modelling and data analysis
