Career perspectives

After your graduation...

Obtain a master's degree

Graduates of Applied Mathematics have access to several master's degree programmes at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt. Among them is Aritificial Intelligence, which is fully taught in English.

They also have the opportunity to pursue master's programmes in fields such as mathematics at other universities. Additionally, a further career path in engineering sciences, such as electrical engineering, is possible.

(Admission to master's programmes generally requires a good bachelor's degree and may be subject to additional conditions, which can be found in the respective admission requirements.)

Pursue a career in industry

The career prospects for graduates are very promising. Mathematicians can find positions in various fields, including the automotive and aerospace industries, robotics, logistics, mechanical engineering, as well as quality management and data science. There are also exciting career opportunities in environmental protection, the chemical industry, meteorology, medicine, and biology.

The job outlook for mathematicians is highly positive. Due to their analytical skills and problem-solving abilities, they are in demand across many industries and in the public sector.

Mathematicians are often involved in research and development. Many work in interdisciplinary teams and contribute to solving complex problems. They are particularly active in fields such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, signal processing, and optimization. Their expertise is also applied in engineering, for example, in the simulation of physical processes or the optimization of systems.

Pursue a career in business and finance

The fields of application in the economic sector are also diverse. In the financial industry, mathematicians can develop models for pricing, risk assessment, and portfolio management. Their analytical skills are also in high demand in business consulting, whether in optimizing supply chains, analyzing business processes, or strategic planning.

Further career opportunities can be found wherever large amounts of data need to be analyzed, such as in insurance, market research, or healthcare.

Mathematicians are not only hired for their specialized expertise but also because of their ability to approach complex problems in a structured and formal manner within a short time.
