Mathematics has developed into an important core area of engineering. As a result, the idea of the degree programme is to train mathematicians as dialogue partners for technicians in the research and development departments of industry. Nowadays, many prototypes of new developments are first simulated virtually on the computer before they are realised. In order for this to be possible in practical cooperation in a research and development department, the mathematician must learn to understand the technician. Technomathematicians should therefore be at home in both the engineering and mathematical worlds. In this way, they combine two cultures. From these specific requirements of the degree programme, the technomathematician acquires independence, initiative, motivation and communication skills. These are all skills that are in demand in professional life.

Students on the Technomathematics degree programme can choose to specialise in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
