Academic Student Advisory Service of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science

This page contains only information concerning the MSc Mathematics. This is the only English language degree programme at our Faculty. For the German language degree programmes, please check the German version of this page.

If you think that the MSc Information Systems or the MSc Geoinformatics are provided by our Faculty: Sorry, you are wrong! Please contact the correct contact persons at the other Faculties. We cannot help you.

You will find the contact persons in the Study Guide of the (Central) Student Advise and Counselling Centre (ZSB).

The Academic Student Advisory Service answers subject-specific questions about studying the degree programmes at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science.

Please first check under "Other contact persons" to see whether your question is really a question for the Academic Student Advisory Service!
