The Bachelor’s degree programme in Computational Science and Engineering combines computer science, mathematics and engineering to solve complex problems using simulation and modelling. You will learn to digitally represent real-world systems, conduct virtual experiments and develop innovative solutions for fields such as product development, vehicle engineering and medicine. In cooperation with the University of Ulm, the six-semester Computational Science and Engineering programme at Ulm University of Applied Sciences (THU) will equip you with a solid grounding in mathematical principles, scientific applications and modern software. Start your future in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) and apply now.
In many areas, the technical and virtual worlds are becoming increasingly interconnected. This is particularly true for product development. As conducting experiments is expensive or often not possible, innovative products are increasingly being created with the help of sophisticated computer systems, mathematical modeling and simulation. The CSE course lasts six semesters and is offered in cooperation with the University of Ulm.
The CSE course lasts 6 semesters and combines the traditional subject areas of mathematics, computer science and the fundamentals of engineering and natural sciences. You will receive a solid and broad-based education in these areas.
In the first four semesters, you will acquire the basics to carry out computer simulations for problems in engineering and natural sciences, medicine or life sciences. From the fifth semester onwards, you design your studies individually: a wide range of compulsory electives, numerous projects and the professional internship of at least three months offer you plenty of scope to set your own priorities. A mobility window provided for in the curriculum in the fifth semester also allows you to spend time abroad without extending your studies.
The work placement in the sixth semester is compulsory and lasts at least three months. However, you can extend it to up to nine months, which extends the duration of your studies to seven semesters. Following the internship, you will write your Bachelor's thesis. After successfully completing your studies, you will be awarded the academic degree of Bachelor of Science.
As this is a joint, interdisciplinary cooperative degree course with the University of Ulm, you will benefit from the strengths of both universities: Ulm University contributes its expertise in applied mathematics and computer science in particular. Ulm University of Applied Sciences primarily teaches the interdisciplinary subject of modeling and simulation as well as modules from the natural sciences and engineering.
The Computational Science and Engineering Bachelor is admission-free, which means that no specific grade point average is required. With a general or subject-restricted higher education entrance qualification - or a comparable qualification - you will secure your place. You do not need a pre-study internship. Further information on application and admission can be found on the Ulm University website.
You have an interest in mathematics and computer science and enjoy scientific and engineering issues. On the BW² - Baden-Württemberg Study Information platform, you will find detailed information about the degree course as well as sample problems with solutions to help you make your decision.
With a Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) degree in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE), you will open up excellent career opportunities in industry and research. Companies are specifically looking for specialists in modelling, simulation and optimization - both in large development departments and in small and medium-sized companies. You will work as a technomathematician, simulation engineer, development and research engineer, method developer or calculation engineer, for example.
The close cooperation with the Ulm Chamber of Industry and Commerce as well as practice-oriented internships and final theses will ensure you make valuable contacts with industry at an early stage. This will provide you with the ideal conditions for a quick and successful career start after your studies.
