The bi-lingual course offerings in the Bachelor's degree allow students, even at the beginning of the course, to acquire skills in English as an international Mathematical language. In the Master's degree course there is a wide range of theoretical, application-oriented and inter-disciplinary areas of specialisation due to the size of the department. The Teaching Qualification degree courses are characterised by close links between the subject-related and didactic content. In all courses of study, the department focusses on innovative teaching and supervision concepts, e.g. the "Darmstadt Model" for small group practicals.

For the support of courses, the department maintains several central computer rooms for general use. By appointment, fixed workstations, e.g. for the writing of a final thesis, are made available to students. The application-oriented work groups operate computer servers which can be used by staff and students as part of research, modelling and simulation. Particularly complex calculations e.g. for industrial cooperations can be carried out on the Lichtenberg high-performance computer of the TU.

The department is divided into eight working groups: Algebra, Analysis, Didactics, Geometry and Approximation, Logic, Numerics, Optimisation, Stochastics. It is involved in the following joint research projects (extract): SFB/TRR "Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation using the Example of Gas Networks", SFB 1194 "Mutual Influence of Transport and Wetting Processes", Graduate School "Computational Engineering", Graduate School "Energy Science and Energy Technology".

The TU Darmstadt pursues the goal of bringing more research results from basic research into application and generating products from ideas. The innovation and start-up centre HIGHEST is a central element of the innovation and transfer strategy of the TU Darmstadt. Measures such as the Pioneer Fund for the promotion of innovations, the Athene Prize for knowledge and technology transfer, the TU Ideas Competition, the Open Digital Labs, curricular and extracurricular courses, start-up, innovation and inventor consultations contribute to a lively innovation environment.
