Before Your Studies: Admission & Application

As per examination regulations, only 180 ECTS BSc degrees in Mathematics or Business Mathematics at German Universities or BSc degrees in comparable international study programs are eligible for an application. However, a university bachelor degree in Statistics, Physics, or similar subjects, which comprises an integrated and profound mathematical education comparable to our BSc study program in Business Mathematics may also fulfill the admission requirements. In contrast, for example, typical BSc study programs in Business Administration or Economics lack a comparably profound mathematical education.

It is possible to be admitted on a conditional basis if only a few ECTS credits are still missing for the completion of your Bachelor's degree (a typical expectation is an equivalent of 150 ECTS completed). In that case, the final degree certificate must be submitted later.
