REGENSBURG<br />

UNIVERSITY<br />

OF APPLIED<br />

SCIENCES<br />

Congratulations! Your secondary school qualifications<br />

open up a wealth of opportunities for<br />

undergraduate study. Only you can decide which<br />

particular course of study is right for you, and<br />

information about the courses offered at the<br />

<strong>Regensburg</strong> University of Applied Sciences<br />

should make your choice easier. However there<br />

is no substitute for a personal interview, and you<br />

are warmly invited to come and talk to our faculty<br />

staff on campus.<br />

You can be confident that the <strong>Regensburg</strong><br />

University of Applied Sciences, with its excellent<br />

reputation both in Germany and internationally,<br />

will provide the right environment for your<br />

studies. And your first visit of discovery should<br />

convince you how lovely <strong>Regensburg</strong> is. I would<br />

be delighted to welcome you here as a new<br />

student!<br />

DEAR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS<br />

YOUR STUDY<br />

YOUR FUTURE AREAS OF ACTIVITY<br />

Are you keen to help shape our future and interested in<br />

innovative problem solving? Are you looking for a pro -<br />

fession that offers excellent prospects in a wide range of<br />

fascinating fields? If you are, then our <strong>Bachelor</strong> degree<br />

course in <strong>Mathematics</strong> is right for you!<br />

The challenges facing mathematicians can only multiply at<br />

a time when science, technology and commerce are<br />

advancing at an ever-increasing rate. The skills and abilities<br />

which the study of mathematics imparts will enable<br />

you to respond quickly and creatively to the demands of<br />

a changing environment. You can look forward to good<br />

career prospects and opportunities for advancement.<br />

Our accredited 7-semester <strong>Bachelor</strong> degree course in<br />

<strong>Mathematics</strong> is the ideal preparation for your future working<br />

life. And if you wish, you can go on to study for an<br />

M.Sc. in <strong>Mathematics</strong> in a further three semesters. You are<br />

making an excellent choice and one that will open many<br />

doors.<br />

■ A voluntary preparatory course will ease your move<br />

from school to university.<br />

■ The degree course teaches important fundamentals and<br />

key competences, and offers additional options for<br />

advanced study following the placement semester.<br />

■ Study options such as 'Engineering' and 'Information<br />

Technology' or 'Actuarial Sciences' provide optimum<br />

preparation for the job market<br />

Elective subject<br />

Semester 5: Placement semester<br />

The career options for mathematicians cover many<br />

important sectors such as<br />

■ Engineering and information technology,<br />

■ Insurance and banking.<br />

This will open the way to varied and interesting areas of<br />

activity depending on your personal preferences and<br />

abilities.<br />

We encounter mathematics every day<br />

in a variety of applications:<br />

■ Mathematical modelling is at the heart of any computer<br />

simulation, for example in medicine or the automotive<br />

industry, rendering complex, expensive experiments<br />

such as crash tests increasingly obsolete.<br />

■ Optimising timetables and schedules has as much to do<br />

with mathematics as the creation of route planners for<br />

vehicle navigation systems.<br />

■ Encryption as used in online banking would be unthink -<br />

able without large prime numbers.<br />

■ Risk modelling is a vital tool for insurance companies.<br />
