Computational Science and Engineering (M.Sc.)Computational Science and Engineering (M.Sc.) Computational Science and Engineering (M.Sc.)

University of Rostock University of Rostock

Three specializations offered: • Computational Electrical Engineering (CEE) • Computational Mechanical Engineering (CME) • Computational Physics (CP)

Premises for the StudyYou have profound knowledge in mathematics and natural sciences as well as advanced English language skills. You are interested in scientific-technical and engineering-based issues, software development and research-oriented work.

Content of the Master ProgramIn the first three semesters, you deepen your knowledge in numerical analysis, partial differential equations, as well as high-performance computing and your classes from the respective module catalog. There are compulsory German courses for all majors. German-speaking students select another language. The 4th semester is for the master thesis.

Special FeaturesThe course is offered in English language and is therefore equally suitable for English-speaking international students and for German-speaking students who want to develop and apply their English language skills intensively.

Career ProspectsWithin this course, you will acquire a broad range of skills that is indispensable for engineers and physicists with a fo-cus on simulation and numerical computing methods. The university master’s degree offers best possibilities for a leading or researcher position in the field of engineering in Germany and abroad, or to enter a doctoral program. The ever-growing demand for engineers and physicists with pro-found knowledge of computational mathematics opens up prospects for the future with excellent career opportunities.

certificate should not be older as two years) • solid knowledge in mathematics: especially linear algebra,

calculus (integral, vector ...), numerics and stochastics • solid skills in a programming language, e.g. C/C++,

Fortran, Java, Python and solid knowledge in computer architecture, operating systems and computer networks

• proof of profound knowledge: CEE: Electromagnetic Fields and Waves (at least 3 credit points), Mathematics (at least 18 credit points), Programming / Practical Computer Sci-ence (at least 6 credit points) / CME: Mathematics (at least 18 credit points), Technical Mechanics (at least 18 credit points), Thermodynamics (6 credit points), Fluid Mecha-nics (6 credit points) and Programming (at least 9 credit points) / CP: Quantum Mechanics (at least 9 credit points), Electrodynamics and Optics (at least 6 credit points), Sta-tistical Physics (at least 6 credit points) and Mathematics (at least 18 credit points)

Advanced Qualification Optionsgraduate to Dr.-Ing. or Dr. rer. nat.

Purpose and ObjectiveComputational Science and Engineering is a new, rapidly gro-wing field that is, in addition to the major subject, based on Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. The aim of the course is the acquisition of skills to carry out computer simula-tions of technical and natural systems in Electrical or Mecha-nical Engineering as well as Physics based on a sound know-ledge of numerical methods. Numerical simulations allow the work on fields that are inaccessible to conventional tests and investigation methods. As computers get more powerful, the scope for modeling and simulation is constantly expanding. In many cases, the design process is already happening only inside the computer.

DegreeMaster of Science (M.Sc.)

Type of Programgraduate (with a second academic degree)one major subject degree (not combinable)language: English, single modules in GermanThe entire course may be completed in English language.

Duration4 semesters

Start Datein winter semester (Oct. 1st) and in summer semester (Apr. 1st); specialization CP: start only in winter semester, speciali-zations CEE and CME: start recommended in winter semester

Start-up supportAssistance during the start of studies and orientation in Ger-many with the help of mentoring from students for students

Fields of StudyEngineering / Electrical Engineering / Mechanical EngineeringNatural Sciences / Physics

Formal Requirements • Completion of a first academic degree in Computational
