Mathematics, Computer Science and Robotics in Freiberg – Your degree programme? Your future!

You probably didn’t find your way to us and onto this page purely by chance. No, you’ve probably long been aware that mathematics and computer science play a decisive role in shaping our lives today and our future. Whether it’s artificial intelligence, robotics, the modelling and simulation of technical and scientific processes, human-computer/robot interaction, ubiquitous computing systems, high-performance computing or virtual realities – none of these can be imagined without in our lives today, and here in Freiberg we want to get to the bottom of things with you. 

To keep your finger on the pulse, our degree programmes teach you not only the very latest methods, but also how to apply them in a practical and forward-looking way. Alongside the core disciplines of mathematics and computer science, our interdisciplinary degree programmes therefore also include an applied subject, enabling you to acquire the techniques, methods and general skills needed to solve today’s most pressing problems whilst you’re still studying. Our experience shows that graduates with this combination of skills are ideally prepared for the demands of professional practice. 

Why study in Freiberg?

You can certainly study mathematics and computer science at many universities in Germany. So why should you come to Freiberg of all places? We asked our students and our faculty team precisely this question, and they told us what it is about Freiberg that wins them over. Will it win you over too?

Study materials

Our aim is nothing less than to teach the very latest methods in mathematics and computer science. To this end, we are constantly improving our range of courses. Below you will find all the necessary study documents to keep you up to date throughout your degree.

Each degree programme is governed by examination and study regulations, and each course is based on a module description. These set out the content of the degree programme, deadlines, course content, examination requirements and other regulations. You can find the documents relating to your degree programme on the relevant programme pages.

The Faculty Council may, on the recommendation of the relevant programme committee, decide to make changes to the current range of courses on offer. Current resolutions are listed below.

Approved adjustments for the 2025/26 winter semester

FAQs on the Mathematics for Data and Resource Sciences (Master’s) programme

We place great emphasis on personalised study. That is why we are also very keen to enable students to pursue opportunities outside the traditional curriculum. To this end, we recommend contacting the chair of our examination boards to discuss, where necessary, the recognition of academic achievements, changes to the study regulations, study breaks, etc.
