B.Sc. Business Mathematics — Free Compulsory Elective Modules

In this study area, modules in the amount of 18-21 CP are to be completed, resulting in a total of 47 CP together with the area of Continuing Modules in Mathematics. At least one seminar must be taken and at most one module from computer science ("Inf"). If modules in economics are chosen in this area, one module from business administration or economics can be freely chosen (modules of Business Administration or Economics with or without ''wrong'' sign); any further business administration or economics modules must come from the chosen specialization in economics (Accounting and Finance ("AF"), Information and Innovation Management ("II"), Market-Oriented Management ("MU") or Economics ("VWL")).
