Overview The international Master’s in Industrial Mathematics is the English-taught version of the Technomathematics degree. It combines a solid grounding in pure mathematics with a strong focus on applied areas—especially numerical analysis, optimisation and scientific computing—together with substantial computer science content. A minor subject allows you to apply mathematical methods directly to problems from the natural sciences or engineering, making the course particularly practice-oriented and relevant to industry needs.
Why it’s a good fit for international students Because the programme is offered in English and blends theory with hands-on skills, it is especially attractive to international applicants seeking an applied mathematical education in Germany. Close links with companies in the Dortmund area and the wider Ruhr region mean the curriculum includes practice-oriented study projects and opportunities for industrial internships, helping students build real-world experience and professional networks.
Career and employer links The programme’s mix of applied mathematics, computing and domain-specific applications prepares graduates for roles in industry and research. By fostering cooperation with regional industrial partners and research institutions, the degree aims to improve graduate employability and create direct links between students and potential employers.
Key programme components / requirements
I don't have the ability to open files linked as "PDF Download." To rewrite the curriculum summary accurately and preserve all facts, please either paste the curriculum text (or the relevant excerpt) into the chat or upload the PDF content here.
To produce the rewrite you asked for (2–4 short paragraphs plus concise bullet-point requirements) I need the original curriculum text or at least the key factual elements listed below. If you prefer, I can also produce a generic sample summary based on typical Technomathematics / Industrial Mathematics Master curricula — but that would be illustrative only and not a factual rewrite of your specific document.
Please provide any of the following items (paste or attach):
If you paste the text, I'll rewrite it into 2–4 clear, engaging paragraphs and include concise bullet points highlighting entry/degree requirements or module prerequisites (based only on the facts you supply). If you want the illustrative sample instead, say “make a generic example” and I’ll create a hypothetical curriculum summary labeled as such.
You must hold a three-year (minimum) undergraduate degree in Mathematics, Technomathematics, or a closely comparable programme to be eligible. The programme normally expects a strong mathematics background and some study in a related minor field; equivalence is assessed by the university based on your transcript and subject coverage.
The university may require you to make up missing subject-matter with additional coursework (up to 30 ECTS). Practical programming ability is expected from day one, so you should refresh or acquire relevant programming skills before the programme starts. For exact details and formal rules, consult the programme’s examination regulations (or its English translation).

Graduates are prepared for roles that require advanced mathematical modelling and computational skills, such as positions in applied mathematics, scientific computing and optimisation across industry and research institutions. The programme’s applied focus and internships make graduates attractive to regional industrial partners as well as national and international employers.
The interdisciplinary training—with a minor in a natural-science or engineering discipline—enables graduates to work in teams tackling real-world problems, contributing to R&D departments, engineering firms, software and simulation companies, and research laboratories.
