The bachelor’s programme “Statistik und Wirtschaftsmathematik” (hereafter: Statistics and Mathematical Methods in Economics) focuses on how to collect, analyze, and interpret data in order to make better decisions and optimize processes. You will learn various statistical methods and mathematical tools that can be applied to problems in business, natural sciences, and society. This enables you to represent complex issues in clear numerical terms and through mathematical models, thereby supporting decision-making processes. Many questions in business and society are highly complex and difficult to answer—statistics and business mathematics help to understand these questions and provide well-founded solutions.

The programme covers the following core subjects:

  • Analysis
  • Linear Algebra and Geometry
  • Numerical Mathematics and Programming
  • Measure and Probability Theory
  • Advanced Analysis and Differential Equations
  • Business Mathematics, Stochastic Processes, and Econometrics
  • Statistics

Programme-PRe-Phase

There is no selection procedure for the Bachelor's degree programmes in Technical Mathematics. Instead, before being admitted, you must engage with the contents of the programme as part of the so-called Study Preparation and Reflection Phase (Programme-PRe-Phase).

Self-Assessment

To help you assess your skills, we provide a self-assessment. The included tests and questionnaires offer a structured overview of the skills and requirements considered essential for successful studies at TU Wien. The self-assessment is voluntary and serves as a guide to help you evaluate whether the chosen degree programme is a good fit for you.

Further Information

For the Bachelor's Programme Statistics and Mathematical Methods in Economics, you should have an interest in mathematics and complex problems. It is an advantage if you are intellectually curious, enjoy working in a team, and are happy to explore new subject areas independently. Most importantly, however, you should enjoy mathematics, like grappling with challenging concepts, constructing proofs, and thinking in a logical and abstract way.

Graduates of Statistics and Mathematical Methods in Economics are excellently prepared for careers in policy consulting, the public sector, private industry, and research. They find employment at (central) banks, government agencies, (inter)national institutions, management consultancies, financial market institutions, in the energy sector, in industry, or in data-driven startups in fields such as tech, FinTech, HealthTech, or e-commerce. Some also choose to pursue a PhD at renowned universities abroad.
