Studies are divided into four areas:
- Mathematics
- Economics
- Interdisciplinary area with electives, integrated mobility semester and seminar
- Bachelor's thesis with seminar
The bachelor’s study programme in Mathematical Finance comprises 12 modules with sub-modules which partly build on each other. All modules include assessments throughout the course of the programme. You can see from the plan of study when you should complete the respective courses. The contents of the individual courses are described in the module guide.
Important!
Please also take note of the study and examination regulations which apply for you as well as the information sheet on transferable skills.
Module 11: Electives
You choose subjects equating to at least 20 ECTS credits in the fields of mathematics, computer science, economics, law or public administration which are not part of the basic module. This applies especially for subjects in the fields of economics and mathematics. Deviations from this rule are possible for courses in other departments.
You can find a selection of subjects in the LSF - online course catalogue under “Electives” and then under “Interdisciplinary Subjects”. If you want to choose a different course, please submit an application to the standing examination committee, justifying how and why the topic fits in with the study programme.
Module 12: Seminar
You will complete two seminars, one of which forms the basis for your bachelor's thesis. Please take note of the currently valid bachelor's thesis and seminar rules.
Mobility semester
Go abroad? Internship in a company? Research placement? Specialise further? At the end of the 4th semester, you will choose one of the four options for your mobility semester in the 5th semester. You must notify exam administration in writing of your choice.
Transferable skills
From the second semester onwards, you may complete courses in transferable skills or language courses (6 ECTS credits).
