Research focuses: Applied mathematics, in particular continuous and discrete optimisation, numerics, business mathematics; close cooperation with application areas such as engineering, environmental sciences, economics, computer science and physics. Examples of research projects: mathematical optimisation of energy systems, mathematical image processing, optimisation of traffic networks.

There is a central start-up service at the BTU. Furthermore, a FABLAB is currently being set up, which explicitly addresses students of all disciplines and works specifically in the direction of business start-ups.

The majority of students are integrated early on into the teaching and research projects due to contracts as student assistants.
