Mathematische Finanzökonomie wird gemeinsam vom Fachbereich Mathematik und Statistik und vom Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften angeboten. Er baut auf dem gleichnamigen Bachelorstudiengang auf. Die Studierenden beschäftigen sich mit der mathematisch und ökonomisch fundierten Modellierung und Analyse von Finanzmärkten und Finanzinstrumenten. Im forschungsorientierten Masterstudiengang wenden Studierende mathematische Methoden auf ökonomische Fragestellungen an.

Unseren internationalen Studiengang passen die Studierenden an ihre akademischen Ziele oder Karrierepläne an: Über den Fast Track beginnen sie im Masterstudium mit ihrer Promotion, oder sie spezialisieren sich in einer der fünf Vertiefungsrichtungen. Wenn sie sich nicht festlegen möchten, wählen sie die Generalisierung und stellen sich so ihr Studium selbst zusammen. Über unsere Double Degree Optionen können die Studierenden ein Jahr in Konstanz und ein Jahr im Ausland studieren und zwei Masterabschlüsse erwerben.

yes

Der interdisziplinäre Studiengang vermittelt zu gleichen Teilen ökonomisches und mathematisches Wissen. Schwerpunkt im wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Teil ist die Analyse von Finanzmärkten, in der Mathematik Methoden aus den Bereichen Analysis, Algebra und Stochastik. Die Studierenden lernen, mit modernen mathematischen Techniken ökonomische Fragen zu beantworten und wirtschaftliche Entscheidungsprobleme zu analysieren und legen damit den Grundstein für eine Karriere im Versicherungs- oder Bankenwesen zu legen.

yes

Wirtschaftswissenschaften studieren heißt: sich mit der Analyse ökonomischer Aktivitäten von Konsumenten, Unternehmen und öffentlichen Institutionen beschäftigen. Im Basisstudium erlernen Studierende Grundlagen in VWL und BWL. Sechs Vertiefungsrichtungen ermöglichen den Studierenden, ihr Studium Fachbereich individuell zu gestalten. Zusätzlich können sie Sprachkurse und Seminare zu Rhetorik, interkultureller Kompetenz oder Verhandlungsführung sowie EDV-Kurse (SAP) besuchen.

The Department of Linguistics attaches great importance to research-based teaching and solid methodological training. We have developed courses that cover a wide range of methodological tools and plan to expand them: Aspects of data collection (corpus analysis, experimental methods including psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic techniques), data modeling and derivation (statistics, formal methods) and methods for automatic processing of human language and AI applications.

https://www.ling.uni-konstanz.de/en/studies/

The research profile of the department comprises three pillars: 1. theoretical breadth in all core areas of linguistics 2. close integration of theory-driven model and hypothesis formation with empirical methods, experimental and computational linguistics 3. linguistic breadth, including languages/language families that go beyond traditional philologies

https://www.ling.uni-konstanz.de/en/research/

General Linguistics: Core Areas; Computational Linguistics; Historical Linguistics

In addition to core subjects (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics), the programme also offers a broad spectrum of courses in specialised methods and applied fields. Students choose a language of specialization, in which they receive instruction in language history and practical competence. The discipline of learning to apply linguistic methods, with their abstract systems of description and modelling, challenges and develops the analytical skills of students in this programme.

yes

Students acquire knowledge and skills to deal with many aspects of multilingualism and multilingual acquisition, including linguistic, psycholinguistic, and sociological perspectives. Acquaintance with major scientific findings and their interpretation, relevant analytical skills, and the development of critical thinking play important roles. The acquired skills and abilities are relevant for academic work as well as for scientifically informed, responsible, non-academic work.

no

The master's programme is concerned with a combination of theoretical and applied linguistics, focussing on the areas Human Language Processing (HLP) and Machine Language Processing (MLP). In the area of HLP students explore the psycholinguistic and neuro-cognitive bases of language, including insights from language acquisition. The area of MLP covers the coding of linguistic knowledge in abstract, formal representations so as to be able to build Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. We teach both rule-based and machine learning (including deep learning) methods.

no

The subject of the programme is the theoretical description and analysis of linguistic structures and their formalization. It provides the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue an academic career and/or to deal professionally with theoretical and practical linguistic issues and to practise language-centred professions. The course imparts analytical and methodical competence and, depending on the focus, deepens the synchric and/or diachronic analysis of one or more languages. A stay abroad at a foreign university is desirable (creditable in module 6).
