The Bachelor's Programme “Technische Mathematik” (hereafter: Technical Mathematics) at TU Wien provides a broad, scientifically and methodologically sound foundational education, with possible specialisations in pure mathematics or applied mathematics related to technical and scientific fields. You learn to mathematically model and analyse complex problems and to solve them using modern computer-based methods. This degree programme positions mathematics as a key technology at the interface between physical reality and the digital data world.

The education focuses on the following core subjects:

  • (Advanced) Analysis
  • Linear Algebra and Geometry
  • Programming and Numerical Mathematics
  • Probability Theory and Statistics
  • Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations
  • Discrete Mathematics

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 degree programme in Technical Mathematics, you should have an interest in mathematics as well as in logical and abstract thinking. Being scientifically curious, working effectively in a team, and enjoying the independent exploration of new subject areas are distinct advantages.

The Bachelor’s degree programme in Technical Mathematics lays the foundation for a career both in traditional engineering fields such as mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, as well as in data-driven industries. In particular, it qualifies graduates for advanced Master’s programmes in Mathematics, Data Science, Computer Science (especially Visual Computing and Artificial Intelligence), as well as in quantitative areas of business and engineering.

Based on the competencies they acquire in analysing complex structures and solving problems in a structured manner, graduates of Technical Mathematics are well qualified and highly sought after for a wide range of professional fields across industry and technology, for example in:

  • Industrial and academic research and development
  • Data science and AI development
  • Software and algorithm engineering
  • Management consulting and risk management
