Study programme
Mathematics, Computer Science and Robotics in Freiberg - Your degree programme? Your future!
You probably didn't find your way to us and to this page purely by chance. No, you've probably long been aware that mathematics and computer science play a key role in shaping our lives today and our future. Whether artificial intelligence, robotics, the modelling and simulation of technical and scientific processes, human-computer/robot interaction, ubiquitous computer systems, high-performance computing, virtual realities - none of this has become an integral part of our lives and we in Freiberg want to get to the bottom of things with you.
In order to be at the cutting edge, you will not only learn state-of-the-art methods in our degree programmes, but also how to apply them in a practical and future-oriented way. In addition to the core pillars of mathematics and computer science, our interdisciplinary degree programmes therefore also include an application subject, which will enable you to acquire techniques, methods and the general skills to solve today's most pressing problems during your studies. Our experience shows that graduates with this package are ideally prepared for the demands of professional practice.

FAQ on the Mathematics for Data and Resource Sciences
degree programme
Individualised study is very important to us. That is why we are also very interested in enabling students to do things outside the traditional curriculum. To this end, we recommend contacting the chair of our examination boards and discussing the recognition of achievements, changes to study regulations, time off from studies, etc. with them if necessary.
