Mathematics and Computational Science
Mathematics and Computational Science involves the application of mathematical and computational techniques to solve problems in science, engineering, and other fields. It involves the development of algorithms to solve complex problems, the analysis of data to discover new insights, and the use of mathematical modeling to predict outcomes.
The basics are in the areas of analysis, linear algebra, stochastics as well as computer-oriented mathematics. Depending on the educational institution, the compulsory and elective modules differ. Mostly, however, they include numerics, topology, actuarial mathematics data structures and algorithms. In addition, topics in business administration, physics, economics, and computer science come your way.
Depending on the field of study or type of school, the length of study differs. The bachelor's degree can be completed full-time or part-time model and usually lasts between 6-10 semesters. If one still wants to follow the Master afterwards, this takes another 4 semesters.
A bachelor's degree costs between 4,500 -8,000.- Swiss francs depending on the university and duration, and at a higher technical college between 10,000 - 50,000.- Swiss francs, again depending on the course of education. The differences are shown to you here.
Depending on the educational institution- and place, different requirements are necessary to be accepted into the study program. Depending on this, there is also an entrance exam or other admission procedure. Important for mathematics students are analytical and creative skills, strong communication skills and a disciplined approach to work.
The job and career prospects for mathematicians are very good. With the mathematics degree, you qualify for numerous jobs, such as in market research, hardware and software development or industry. Mathematicians today work in the finance and insurance industry, in management consultancies or in publishing houses.
The salary: In Switzerland, as a mathematician, a salary Between 86,000.- and 115,000 francs is possible, of course, this varies depending on the industry, degree and position. You can find potential employers here.
Mathematics studies are offered at University of Bern, University of Geneva or University of Neuchâtel, among others.
