Bachelor in Mathematical-Technical Software Development: Course Content
Whether it’s artificial intelligence, image recognition or big data: technologies are a modern and future-oriented way of solving problems. Using mathematical and technical skills, software developers come up with constructive action strategies far removed from standardized solutions.
As an interdisciplinary degree course, the bachelor’s degree in Mathematical-Technical Software Development provides you with practical knowledge in the fields of mathematics and (computer) technology. In addition to software development, the course content also includes modeling, simulation, optimization and visualization of complex technical processes. This will be enable you to grasp technical contexts and select and apply the scientific methods required to solve problems. Elective modules give you the opportunity to tailor the course content to your personal interests. In this way, you will be able to set your priorities at an early stage, thus paving the way for the practical professional specialization that best suits your interests. In addition, the bachelor’s degree in Mathematical-Technical Software Development qualifies you for admission to various master’s degrees in mathematics and computer science.
