Teaching is characterised by an education at the highest international level as well as an excellent staff to student ratio and direct contact with the lecturers. A special feature is the learning centre, in which students can meet to study in groups, employees and experienced students are available as contact persons for technical questions. Students also have the opportunity to be involved in teaching at an early stage via assistant positions and thus earn additional income while deepening their specialist knowledge.

The master's degree programme is characterised by being highly international and having a strong research focus. Master's specialisations are regularly offered on changing topics, in which several professors and international visiting lecturers offer a coherent range of courses covering current research issues. The learning groups are very small and allow students to have excellent contact with the lecturers. Students have a variety of opportunities to be involved in teaching via assistant positions and thus to earn additional income while deepening their specialist knowledge.

While the degree programme is generally all in German, elective courses in the Bachelor's and especially in the Master's degree course are often offered in English by our international scientists or international guest lecturers. We explicitly motivate and support our students in the planning of study stays abroad in order to gain their own experience abroad. The institute maintains relationships with various foreign universities, including in Sweden, Finland, France, Spain, China and the USA.

The Institute of Mathematics hosts numerous top international research projects. In addition to a large number of individual projects, Paderborn is one of the two core locations of the Collaborative Research Centre "Integer Structures in Geometry and Representation Theory". In addition, members of the Institute of Mathematics are involved in the interdisciplinary "Photonic Quantum Computing" research projects and in work at the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems. The Institute for Industrial Mathematics contributes to technology transfer through cooperation with industry.

At the annual Weierstraß Lecture, a world-leading mathematician (often a recipient of the Fields Medal, known as the Nobel Prize in Mathematics) presents his or her research to a wide audience.
