Career Paths in Mathematics und Informatics

As a starting point for your own further research, here is a sample of career paths sorted by field of study. This list, while extensive, is by no means exhaustive. Please note that a bachelor’s degree alone often does not qualify you to enter into many of these occupational fields. A master’s degree or doctorate, practical work experience, and/or key skills may also be expected. Therefore, we recommend that you conduct further research into the specific requirements of the occupational fields you are interested in early on in your journey.
