In the 2025/26 winter semester, two new master's programs will start at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, teaching students interested in economics and technology forward-looking data skills at the intersection of math, economics and data science.
Those who have a bachelor's degree in mathematics can apply for the new master's program in mathematics, “Mathematics in Business, Engineering and Computer Science.” For students with a bachelor's degree in economics, the master's program in “Data Literacy and Business Analytics” is a good fit. Prospective students can apply for both programs, which do not have admission restrictions, until September 30.
Mathematics in Business, Engineering and Computer Science
In addition, the new mathematics degree program “Mathematics in Business, Engineering and Computer Science” is being launched, which teaches master's students methods for solving application-oriented problems in many subject areas over four semesters. Whether autonomous driving, intelligent materials, sustainable financial products or voice assistants: “Mathematics is the key to many fields. Mathematical methods are essential for describing, analyzing, and optimizing relationships and processes,” says academic advisor Professor Ralf Hielscher. “The new master's program qualifies students in one of three application areas – economics, engineering, or computer science – so that, in combination with the mathematical know-how and abstract thinking skills taught in the mathematics section, they have excellent career prospects.”
Data Literacy und Business Analytics
The new master's program “Data Literacy and Business Analytics” at TU Bergakademie Freiberg trains experts who can combine specialist knowledge with data-driven analysis methods. "Students acquire in-depth knowledge of data-based decision support – from the collection and processing of large amounts of data to the analysis, interpretation, and implementation of data-driven solutions in business and administration. In project modules and case studies, students work on real challenges from business and society," says Carsten Felden, professor of business informatics and advisor for the new program. The program is aimed at bachelor's degree graduates in economics who are enthusiastic about the systematic handling of data and want to help shape data-based processes in organizations.
Attractive employment opportunities:
Both master's programs combine specialist knowledge with practical applications and offer graduates excellent career prospects in growing fields such as data collection and analysis, business intelligence, risk management and software, process and product development.
