What you will study
The Master's in Mathematics at TU Graz is an English-taught programme that builds on your bachelor's in analysis, algebra, stochastics, numerical mathematics and discrete mathematics. It runs for four semesters and 120 ECTS, and you graduate as a Diplom-Ingenieurin or Diplom-Ingenieur (DI), equivalent to an MSc.
What you study
You work on mathematical methods and train your mathematical thinking: recognising structures and relationships, abstraction and analysis, deductive, formal and algorithmic thinking. You also develop problem-solving skills, for example in modelling processes in engineering, economics and science, using computer support and interpreting results critically.
You choose from these specialisation modules:
- Algebra and Number Theory
- Applied mathematics
- Combinatorics and Graph Theory
- Computational Mathematics
- Discrete Optimisation and Complexity
- Actuarial and Financial Mathematics
- Geometry and Analysis
- Mathematics of Data Science
- Modelling and Applications in Engineering
- Statistics
How the programme is organised
The programme is taught in English and lasts four semesters (120 ECTS). It is run in cooperation with the University of Graz. You can take an International Module and complete courses at a partner university abroad, including institutions from the Arqus and Unite! networks. International guest professors regularly present their research, and advanced courses are given by external lecturers from companies such as GraWe, AVL and Sappi. Student projects with local businesses are supported.
Who it suits
It suits you if you have a bachelor's in mathematics or a closely related field and want to specialise. The programme is for people who enjoy abstract thinking and want to apply mathematics in engineering, economics, finance, insurance or data science. Graduates work in industry, business and science, for example on mathematical models in industry, engineering and science; on deterministic and stochastic models in economics, administration, finance and insurance; on data security and communication technology; and on methods for medical imaging, risk management and computer-based methods.
Admission, language and next steps
Admission requires a completed relevant bachelor's degree. Graduates of the Bachelor's Programme Mathematics at TU Graz and the University of Graz are admitted without conditions. Graduates of other national or international bachelor's or master's programmes should check the exact requirements in the curriculum. You also need proof of English language competence. Applications go directly to TU Graz; the application period is on the university's own page. As a public university, TU Graz does not charge tuition for EU/EEA and Swiss students within the standard duration plus two semesters; other students pay a fee per semester.

Before you apply
There is no central application portal in Austria: you apply to the institution, here Graz University of Technology. A public university sets the admission requirements and dates for this level, so read them on the programme page. Entrance examination, as the register states it: No. Entry requirements and language tests are set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, the student residence permit and housing.
Facts on this page come from the Austrian national register (BMFWF open data and studienwahl.at, which states the language of instruction). Fees are in euros as the register lists them. "Not listed" means the register has no figure, not that the programme is free. Always confirm requirements, fees and dates with the institution.
