2 Master s Degree Technical Mathematics mathematik.aau.at The Master s degree programme for Technical Mathematics is a university degree in applied Mathematics with significant practical relevance. Students specialise in one of the following subjects: Applied Analysis, Applied Statistics and Financial Statistics, Data Security and Cryptology, Operations Research. The topic of the Master s thesis often evolves from a specific problem identified in the business or industry sphere. Graduates of the Master s degree programme for Technical Mathematics will earn the academic title of Diplom-IngenieurIn (equivalent to Master of Technical Sciences). The completed degree programme adequately prepares them for demanding positions in the field of research and development. It is possible to continue with a doctoral degree programme in Technical Sciences. Within the specialised subject, much emphasis is placed on the combination of theory and practice. The focus here lies on the application of models using cutting-edge mathematical technologies. The compulsory internship allows students to directly apply what they have learned, thus gaining professional experience while still studying.

3 WHAT MAKES THE EXPERIENCE OF STUDYING AT THE ALPEN-ADRIA-UNIVERSITÄT KLAGEN- FURT UNIQUE? early stage and participation in commissioned work in a wide range of applications areas research contacts provide the opportunity to gather experience at universities abroad and in businesses Jobs and careers Technical Mathematics a degree that takes you further The increased use of computers in industry, finance, business and administration leads to great opportunities in the labour market for technical mathematicians, and particularly for those, who have mastered the computer and relevant software packages. Following graduation, the specialisation and practice-oriented training gained provide students with an entry-point into a professional trajectory with attractive career opportunities. Dipl.-Ing. Olivia Bluder, Bakk.phil. Doctoral candidate, KAI - Kompetenzzentrum für Automobil- und Industrieelektronik GmbH The Master s Degree Programme for Technical Mathematics at the Alpen-Adria- Universität, and above all the compulsory internship, provided an ideal foundation for my entry into professional life. It heightened my awareness of the vast number of areas, in which Mathematics can be used to provide solutions.
