## Why Technical Mathematics?
Mathematics plays a crucial role in the development of science and technology. The master program Technical Mathematics offers a wide range of opportunities to **delve deeper into theoretical and application-oriented areas**.
During this program, you will learn to solve complex problems and acquire a **structured, analytical approach**.
With the skills you acquire, you will obtain an excellent basis for a **successful career in the private sector**, for example in industrial research, software development, or management consulting. Graduates of Technical Mathematics are among the most sought-after young professionals due to their strengths in abstract thinking and problem solving.
The opportunity to gain a **strong theoretical foundation** in the areas analysis, numerical mathematics, discrete mathematics, logic, and geometry offers a wide range of opportunities to participate in current mathematical research and subsequently **pursue an academic career**.
## What can you expect?
The flexible structure of the master program Technical Mathematics consists of a **small, theory-based compulsory catalog** and a **wide range of options**, thus providing a good opportunity to specialize according to your own interests, for example in the areas
- Analysis
- Discrete mathematics
- Geometry
- Modeling and numerical simulation
Thanks to a **good teacher-student ratio**, you can develop your full potential and potentially collaborate on current research topics.
## Curriculum
You can find all the details about the structure and content of the program in the [curriculum](https://www.tuwien.at/fileadmin/Assets/dienstleister/studienabteilung/MSc-Studienplaene_2025/Masterstudium_Technische_Mathematik_2025.pdf) (PDF in German) and in the [list of courses in TISS](https://tiss.tuwien.ac.at/curriculum/public/curriculum.xhtml?dswid=1718&dsrid=629&key=64485).
The curriculum Technical Mathematics is divided into three specializations:
- **Applied Mathematics**: Focus on modeling with differential equations and numerical simulation.
- **Discrete Mathematics**: Focus on analysis of algorithms, logic and advanced combinatorics.
- **Analysis and Geometry**: Focus on in-depth theoretical training in both areas.
Within the specializations, there is considerable freedom in the individual selection of certain compulsory subjects and a wide range of restricted electives.
A schematic representation of the curriculum is shown below.
Due to the wide range of choices available, courses do not have a recommended semester. In the **first three semesters**, students are usually required to complete
- Compulsory subjects worth 30-36 ECTS
- Subject specific electives worth 45-51 ECTS
- Free electives and transferable skills worth 9 ECTS
In the **fourth semester**, the focus is entirely on writing a master thesis.
