Excerpt from the diploma supplement of the study program

Mit einem Abschluss des Bachelorstudiengangs Mathematik bist du auf dem Arbeitsmarkt sehr flexibel, da es sich um eine Schlüsselwissenschaft handelt. Du verfügst nicht nur über analytische Fähigkeiten und eine strukturierte Herangehensweise an komplexe Fragestellungen, sondern absolvierst im Rahmen des Studiums zusätzlich eine anwendungsorientierte Spezialisierung. Damit eröffnen sich dir sehr gute Berufsperspektiven als Fachkräfte national und international überall dort, wo komplexe Situationen bestehen und ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit und Verbindlichkeit benötigt wird. Beispiele sind die Bereiche Medizintechnik, IT-Unternehmen, Automobilindustrie und der Telekommunikationssektor.

  • Gut strukturiertes Studium mit vielen Wahlmöglichkeiten
  • Große Auswahl an möglichen Anwendungsfächern, ggf. an anderen Fakultäten
  • Starkes Forschungsprofil der Fakultät mit Auswirkung auf die forschungsorientierte Lehre
  • Betreuter Lernraum im Fakultätsgebäude
  • Wählbare überfachliche Qualifikationen
  • Attraktives und modernes Fakultätsgebäude mit vielen Seminarräumen, Arbeitsplätzen, Fachbibliothek und Cafeteria
  • Sehr engagierte Fachschaft (Studierendenvertretung)
  • Sehr gute Beratungsinfrastruktur
  • Möglichkeiten  eines Auslandstudiums
  • Möglichkeit einer Bachelorarbeit an einer anderen KIT-Fakultät oder in Kooperation mit einem Unternehmen

German applicants and those with German-equivalent applicant status

Germans, EU nationals, and non-EU nationals with a German university entrance qualification are eligible to study at KIT if they have one of the following qualifications:

  1. General university entrance qualification (Abitur)
  2. (relevant) Fachgebundene Hochschulreife (subject-linked university entrance qualification, not Fachhochschulreife / university of applied sciences entrace qualification)
  3. Delta examination of the University of Mannheim (for holders of a Fachhochschulreife)
  4. a recognized diploma of advanced vocational training (e.g. technician, Meister diploma for craftsman) or an aptitude test for vocationally qualified persons

For additional possibilities, see §58 of the Landeshochschulgesetz (State Higher Education Act).

Furthermore, prerequisite for enrollment is the participation in a study orientation test (e.g. at www.was-studiere-ich.de) or a study orientation counseling, e.g. by the Zentrale Studienberatung (student advisory services) at KIT, according to §60 Landeshochschulgesetz (State Higher Education Act).

German citizens with foreign school-leaving qualifications must have the equivalence of their qualification with the German Abitur certified by the responsible Regierungspraesidium (regional authority).

Foreign nationals (non-EU)

In Germany, the school leaving certificate of institutions in certain countries is accepted as direct means to enter university. In order to start your bachelor's studies in Germany, a university entrange test and / or one completed year of education at an institute of higher education and / or the "Feststellungsprüfung" (test of aptitude of foreign applicants for studies at universities in Germany) needs to be demonstrated in addition in most cases. You can find country-specific regulations in the "Zulassungsdatenbank des DAAD" (database on adimission requirements of the German Academy Exchange Service) or in the Anabin database (database of the "Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen", only available in German). If you have further questions, please contact the International Students Office.

Knowledge of the German language for foreign nationals

In order to be accepted into a study program taught in German, foreign nationals need to demonstrate knowledge of the German language. For your application, you need to demonstrate knowledge of level B1. All such certificates are accepted, even a certificate of attendance of a B1 course. During the enrollment process, you need to submit a DSH2 certificate or an accepted equivalent thereof. If you have further questions, please contact the International Students Office.
