About this program
Mathematics is a very old and traditional science and is also very important for our future. Whether IT, artificial intelligence, data science or finance – no future technology can do without mathematics. As a mathematical economist, you can not only work with mathematical precision, but also translate problems from economics and technology into the language of mathematics, solve them using mathematical models, and at the same time assess the potential of these models. With these skills, you can make a significant contribution to developing answers to challenging (future) questions. Mathematical economists are therefore in high demand on the job market, for example, as data scientists or analysts, actuaries for insurance companies or banks, or IT consultants for AI applications, to tackle the challenges of modern society. In the Master's program, you will be introduced to current research questions in mathematical economics and learn to independently plan, conduct, and complete a research project, i.e., you will acquire professional skills in project management in addition to subject expertise. The Master's program in Mathematical Economics in Bielefeld is characterized by its three profiles: Mathematics, Economics, and Finance, which offer you thematic specialization and at the same time a wide range of choices. Bielefeld University is traditionally known for interdisciplinary research and teaching, especially in the area between mathematics and economics. Long-term collaborative research projects in this field and, in particular, the Institute for Mathematical Economics create an attractive, international research environment with particular appeal for teaching (for example, in the form of numerous specialization opportunities) in the field of mathematical economics. As in any (mathematical) economics study program, joint learning and working are highly valued. You will work closely together in teams and will also receive individual support in exercise groups for lectures from students in higher semesters, doctoral candidates, and postdocs (tutors).
