Business Mathematics at KIT at a glance
From the summer semester 2016, the Study and Examination Regulations (SPO) 2015 with a separate study plan will apply to all first-year students. The previous study and examination regulations from 2009 and their curriculum remain valid for all those who were already enrolled on the degree program before summer semester 2016. However, they also apply to all those who are newly admitted to a higher semester from summer semester 2016. This is always the case if admission is to a semester higher than that reached by the first regular first semester cohort according to SPO 2015. The last opportunity to graduate according to SPO 2009 is in the summer semester 2020.

General information
The Business Mathematics degree program was introduced in 1983 as a Diplom degree program at the Karlsruhe University of Technology. This made the University of Karlsruhe (TH) one of the first universities in Germany to recognize the great demand in industry and commerce for mathematicians with advanced knowledge in the field of economics, which continues to this day. Today, business mathematics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) presents itself as a modern, future-oriented and interdisciplinary degree program that combines the subjects of mathematics and economics. The program, which is supported in equal parts by the KIT faculties of mathematics and economics, concludes after a standard period of study of four semesters with the academic degree Master of Science (M.Sc.).
