...Therefore Study in Marburg!
Interdisciplinary Degree Program
The Marburg master's degree program in Business Mathematics builds a bridge between mathematics and economic sciences. The students deal with both mathematical and economic questions. This flexibility has a very beneficial effect on the practice, in which one also moves between these two cultures. Especially in banking and in the insurance industry, for example, it is a common practice to deal with economic issues with the help of mathematical methods.
Excellent Supervisory Relationships
The manageable size of the department allows for a very pleasant and personal atmosphere. The working environment among the students as well as the cooperation between teachers and students is praised by all participants and perceived as very good. The PC pools and individual rooms of the department can be used around the clock as a place of learning, and a qualified contact person is available every afternoon in the department's own learning center ('Lernzentrum').
Choose Between Mathematical Focus and Practical Relevance
With specialization options in numerics, optimization and stochastics, you can choose from three different specializations in Applied Mathematics. In addition, lectures in the field of actuarial mathematics and financial mathematics are offered on an ongoing basis by lecturers from the business world. This results in a special proximity to practice.
Traditional University With Flair
Philipps-Universität Marburg is not only one of the most traditional German universities, but also the oldest Protestant university in the world. Research and teaching have been conducted here for almost five centuries. The city and the university accordingly form an inseparable unit. Marburg offers a historical environment, but at the same time beams with many pubs, restaurants, cinemas and the lawns on the banks of the Lahn, which are used extensively by students. The manageability and familiarity of the city and the university, as well as their student-friendly climate, are also reflected in the department.
