If you want to study Mathematics or Mathematics Education, please choose it as your first or second major within the double major Bachelor’s degree programme. For those with a technical interest in the subject, there is also a special Bachelor of Science Mathematics .
There are four study objectives within the double major Bachelor’s degree, of which you choose one:
The double major Bachelor’s degree programme consists of two sub-programmes (first and second major) and an area of specialisation plus internships and/or school placements as well as a final module.

The Bachelor’s thesis is written in the final module.

Possibilities of combination
In principle, Mathematics or Mathematics Education can be combined with all other majors of the double major Bachelor’s degree. However, some combinations are recommended or are only possible to a limited extent, depending on the desired degree.
If you are aiming for the teaching profession, please consult the regulations governing the combination of different subjects for the different teacher training courses:
If you are looking for a combination not mentioned here, we strongly recommend that you consult with the programme coordinator for the double major Bachelor’s degree.
