Would you like to study for a Master’s degree in Computational Science and Engineering to specialise in mathematical modelling, optimisation and simulation? Computational Science and Engineering is an integral part of modern research, development and production processes. In industry, you will contribute to efficient product development; in academia, to the high-quality presentation of results. With your Master’s degree, you will qualify for senior roles in industry, research and academia. You will become a leader with skills that are in demand worldwide. Start your specialisation in this interdisciplinary field now.
In many areas, the technical and virtual worlds are becoming increasingly interconnected. This applies in particular to product development. Since 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 Computational Science and Engineering program lasts four semesters and provides you with in-depth knowledge of numerical simulation and high-performance computing, while offering a broad range of specialized courses in the required elective areas of applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering and natural sciences. The integration of these individual fields takes place within the interdisciplinary program. The CSE master’s program offers the opportunity to choose a specialization during your studies and have it noted on your diploma.
Currently, students can choose from the following nine specializations:
For the Computational Science and Engineering Master's degree, you will need knowledge and skills in the fields of applied mathematics, computer science, engineering or natural sciences. The course is aimed at graduates of the Bachelor's degree course in CSE and related courses. For admission, you need a Bachelor's degree with an overall grade of 2.7 or better. Alternatively, admission is possible with an overall grade of at least 3.0 if the Bachelor's thesis was graded 1.7 or better. In addition, particularly qualified graduates of mathematics, computer science, engineering or natural science courses with an equivalent degree and corresponding specialist knowledge will be admitted. If your degree is not yet available at the time of application, you must already have at least 140 credit points with a weighted average grade of 2.7 or better. As this is a German-language degree course, international applicants must also have an appropriate knowledge of German. Further information on application and admission can be found on the Ulm University website.
A degree in Computational Science and Engineering Master's (M.Sc.) opens up a wide range of career prospects in industry, research and science. After completing your studies, you can take on specialist and management roles in research and development teams in various industries, head up simulation departments or work in method and simulation development. There are also opportunities in scientific institutions, universities and the higher education sector. These fields of activity are also open to you internationally. The Computational Science and Engineering degree program prepares you specifically for management tasks and interdisciplinary work. Small and medium-sized companies in particular show great interest in graduates of the course, while there are also attractive employment opportunities nationwide and internationally.
