The research-oriented Master's programme in Mathematics provides a high-profile education in the following areas:
In our programme, we facilitate close contact with the research projects of the department, e.g. the Automata, Dynamics, and Actions ERC-grant research project and the transregional collaborative research centre (Symbolic Tools in Mathematics and their Application – SFB-TRR 195). Furthermore, we are developing a new Master’s programme on quantum information theory in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Physics.
There is a strong collaboration with the Department of Computer Science and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in the areas of discrete mathematics, complexity theory, and computational geometry.
The students can specialise directly in their desired research area. They are free to choose from a mixture of core courses, advanced courses, and seminars.
Part-time studies are possible.
Alliance with other European universities:
The students can earn credit points for the Master's programme by doing a voluntary internship.
The enrolment fee amounts to about 320 EUR per semester. This fee includes a semester ticket covering public transport in Saarland (including Saarbrücken).
About 800 EUR per month to cover personal expenses (including accommodation)
Applicants must have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics or a related Bachelor's degree. A preliminary admission can also be given under the condition that you have to pass certain missing lectures from the Bachelor's programme. The final decision on the admission and potential extra requirements are made by the examination board.
English proficiency at level C1 is essential. Standardised test results (TOEFL, CPE, or IELTS) are required. Exceptions are only made for native speakers and those who hold a degree from a university in a country where English is the native language.
International applications are very welcome. Application deadlines are:
15 November for the following summer semester
