• The technical mathematics program at the JKU focuses on mathematical modeling, algorithmic aspects, and hands-on computer science. You are highly qualified to pursue an (international) career in science, academia or business.
• Even during the Bachelor's program, JKU professors provide individual support and give you an opportunity to apply your theoretical knowlerdge to real-world situations by developing solutions for real problems in Austria and abroad.

Let JKU student Corinna tell you about everyday life as a math student. See: Linz Institute of Technology to learn more about the Bachelor's degree program in Technical Physics and see additional videos about other programs.

Your JKU Bachelor's degree in Technical Mathematics combines base-knowledge mathematics with modern computer technologies.

• Fundamentals of Mathematics: Linear Algebra and Analytical Geometry, Analysis, Differential Equations, Dynamic Systems, Functional Analysis, Measurement and Integration Theory, Probability Theory and Stochastics
• Applied Mathematics: Numerical mathematics and optimization, partial differential equations, statistics, financial mathematics
• Computer Mathematics: Computer Algebra, Computational Logic, Algorithmic Combinatorics, Algorithms and Data Structures, Programming
• Math Seminars and Mathematical Modelling: Using scientific articles and books, seminars help you independently work on conveying everything you know about math! For example, you prepare and hold a presentation, learning how to independently work on and communicate mathematical topics. Mathematical modelling gives you an opportunity to find answers to questions by converting problems found in natural sciences, economics, medicine, etc. into a mathematical model. You can then examine these using mathematical methods. Examples include weather and climate models, models of the brain as a thinking machine, all physical theories such as Newtonian mechanics, quantum theory, theory of relativity are mathematical models; static models try to investigate correlations, i.e. in financial mathematics, economics, kinetic gas theory.

Mathematicians are needed everywhere - from the pharmaceutical industry, banks, and insurance companies to space research. As a graduate of the Bachelor's degree program, your job is to use, adapt and further develop current mathematical methods and existing computer software.

• Research and development facilities in business, industry, and in the public sector: You develop algorithms for sensors to measure boreholes or in aircraft construction, use measurement data to search for errors in production machines and create corrective measures, plan traffic flows and optimize the production and distribution of electricity and gas, develop climate models and analyze the results
• Financial service provider: As a mathematician at a bank or at an insurance company, you assess risks such as: when it comes to floods earthquakes or hurricanes, what is the risk of occurrence and the extent of damage; what is the total risk of all bank investments and how can this risk be reduced?
• Companies in the fields of software development and information technology: As a mathematician, for example, you work on encrypting data and messages, helping to make apps and computer programs more secure.  
• Universities, other post-secondary educational institutions and non-academic research institutes:

You teach the next generation of mathematicians, scientists and engineers the latest in mathematics, work together with partners from the business community on new technologies, or be part of an international team focusing on fundamental mathematical problems, perhaps proving Riemann's conjecture.

As part of the Bachelor’s degree program, students are required to complete courses totaling 180 ECTS credits in the following subject areas:

Studies Introduction and Orientation Phase (StEOP)

After enrolling in a Bachelor's degree program, you will be required to complete the StEOP requirements at the start of your studies. The StEOP requirements consists of certain courses that are outlined in the curriculum. If you take other academic courses before completing the required StEOP courses, you will only get limited academic credit.

After completing your undergraduate degree, you can continue your education by pursuing an advanced degree:
