For many, it is the most elegant language in the world, because it is unambiguous: mathematics. It helps us to describe and solve our day-to-day problems. Today, mathematics is a key technology and an indispensable basis for the development of technical innovations. We are looking for clever minds who are good at detecting patterns and structures in apparent chaos and who enjoy tackling tricky issues!  

Join the Bachelor’s programme in Technical Mathematics and turn your passion for mathematics into your dream job!  

We admit it: Mathematics is not for everyone. But: Mathematics is the subject that will perhaps hold the biggest surprises for you. Here comes the first surprise: We will introduce you to the tools of “applied mathematics”. You will learn how to describe difficult practical problems using formal and mathematical structures and then work towards finding solutions. For instance, here are some real problems: What can we do to make transport and production more environmentally sound? Or how can we calculate changes inside the body and use this to develop new medical imaging methods?

This is the second surprise: Mathematics is a language and a key technology. We rarely resort to scribbling calculations on squared paper, but instead we work creatively. We rarely work alone and tend to think in teams together with other bright minds. Our team of lecturers consists of distinguished experts who are internationally renowned in their respective fields of research. Our material is rarely made up of numbers, but we use formulas to express problems in such a way that they become solvable. As mathematicians, we are proud of the clarity and precision of our mathematical language.

This is the third surprise: Mathematics could be the perfect subject for you too! Are you familiar with the feeling of becoming deeply immersed in a task and pondering a riddle for days and days until finally everything falls into place? Join us on a mathematical voyage of discovery, explore new worlds of thought and be a part of our community!

Studying at a university of international excellence

The University of Klagenfurt consistently achieves top positions in internationally renowned rankings. According to the THE Young University Rankings 2022, it ranks among the best young universities in the world and is currently ranked 77th in the world. The University of Klagenfurt also scored outstanding results in the THE Subject Rankings 2022: Social Sciences (ranking group 151-175), Computer Science (ranking group 201-250), Engineering (ranking group 201-250), Physical Sciences (ranking group 251-300), Business & Economics (ranking group 251-300).

Focused studies. Our core topics

  • Analysis: Analysis is the study of functions. You will remember curve sketching from school, i.e. the description of the properties of a function graph by means of derivation, limit values and integrals. We will teach you the essentials and applications of analysis.
  • Discrete Mathematics: Discrete Mathematics deals with mathematical structures that are finite or countable. This includes the areas of combinatorics, graph theory and number theory.
  • Linear Algebra: Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that focuses on vector spaces and the linear images between them.
  • Optimisation and programming: Let’s imagine it’s Christmas and some 50,000 Londoners order their festive meal from a supermarket delivery service. Who should be the first to receive a delivery and how do we calculate possible delivery slots? We optimise these kinds of problems and develop software that determines the most suitable solutions.
  • Stochastics: This is the field where we deal with probability theory and mathematical statistics.

Your skills are our mission. This is what we can teach you

We help you to acquire scientific skills, and you can use them to good effect: While some become mere users of computer programmes, you will become a creative problem solver and innovative thinker! Mathematics allows you to stand out from the crowd, and to do so permanently. Software becomes obsolete, but mathematical skills form the basis for the key technologies of the future. 

  • Everything you need for the practical setting. Around 40 percent of our lecturers are highly successful in the professional field. What we offer is nothing out of this world, but rather we allow you to take flight.
  • Triumph with soft skills. The world of work needs team players who can work creatively and purposefully, regardless of subjects and cultures. In our seminars you will learn how to boost inspiration and efficiency in group work. Here you will learn to become a moderator and manager of projects.
  • Reaching for the sky after graduation. Many of our graduates enter professional life straight after their Bachelor’s degree. However, others are eager for more. At the University of Klagenfurt, we are able to offer you an English-language Master's degree programme in Mathematics, which is specially tailored to your advanced education goals.

If you think all of this sounds too difficult for you…

…you’re mistaken: You can easily get started in mathematics! Although some do find it a bit challenging to get used to “thinking mathematically” at the very beginning of their studies: Still, our students later tell us that it was well worth the effort to master the difficulties.

If you ever get stuck, or if you feel that the knowledge you learned at school is not enough, we can help you! We have dedicated preparation courses for this purpose: These focused workshops will bring you up to speed and help you launch your studies. Taking advantage of these voluntary and free offers will also provide benefits later on: The preparation courses qualify as free elective subjects.

Have we got what you need?

We will guide you through the first steps of your degree! Via phone or e-mail, or face-to-face over a coffee.

Let’s talk: get in touch now!

FAQ. Frequently asked questions

Is the degree programme in Technical Mathematics the right one for me?

Is maths your passion? Do you enjoy numbers and puzzles? Are you curious to know, for example, how to use mathematics to best calculate the logistics for supermarkets or to plan freight transport more effectively? Then the degree programme in Technical Mathematics is perfect for you!

Can I start my studies even if I don’t have any prior knowledge? How can I prepare for my degree programme?

What is most important when starting your studies is that you have an interest in and a curiosity about the field of study and the subject area. No prior knowledge is required. If you are still unsure, simply attend one of our technology preparation courses. Here, you can refresh your knowledge of computer science and mathematics along with other first-year students. The course is free of charge and will be credited as part of your studies.

Is there any help available in case I cannot solve exercises by myself?

We have established the FUNctions space- maths space and help desk. Every week during the semester, students can choose between several time slots where they can work through the lecture material and exercises from the mathematics courses and lectures, either alone, together with other students, or with the help of teaching assistants.

How do I start my academic studies at the University of Klagenfurt?

Our check list will help you to get started. We have compiled everything you need to know here – from registering online right up to enrolling for a degree programme.

Where can I find additional information? Who can I contact with questions?

You can find additional information about the degree programme by reading the Curriculum (PDF) or by visiting the Study Technology webpage. If you have any other questions, the Programme Director will be happy to help (e-mail: spl-mathematik [at] aau [dot] at).

Is there a mentoring programme?

The mentoring programme is designed to smooth the way for first-semester students entering university. During the first semester, our students are coached in small groups by experienced mentors. The mentors provide advice and help you to clear organisational hurdles and overcome any problems you may have in finding your bearings.

I am attending a secondary technical school (HTL). Is it possible to get academic credit for subjects I have taken at school?

Students at a HTL who have passed certain subjects at secondary level may be able to transfer credit so that it counts towards certain courses run by the university. If you have any questions about a credit transfer, the Programme Director responsible for your chosen programme will be happy to help (e-mail: spl-mathematik [at] aau [dot] at).

Examples of credit transfers from a selection of HTLs

Do I have to attend every class?

Basically, we distinguish between courses with exams and courses with continuous assessment. The latter are courses where the assessment is not carried out in a single examination act, but on the basis of written and/or oral contributions by the participants during the course or – in the case of written papers or projects (e.g. Bachelor’s theses, seminar papers or papers with a comparable workload) – by the end of the semester following that in which the course was held. As a general rule, attendance is compulsory in courses with continuous assessment.

Courses with exams (e.g. lecture courses) generally have no compulsory attendance and are concluded with an examination.

I would like to study technical mathematics and train to become a teacher of mathematics. Can I get credit in one programme for courses completed in the other?

Some courses are offered as part of the degree in Technical Mathematics and also for the Teacher Training Qualification in Mathematics, which means that there may be an overlap. Please contact the Programme Director (e-mail: spl-mathematik [at] aau [dot] at) to find out if you can transfer credits for any of the courses you have completed or expect to complete.
