Computational Science and Engineering (CSE)

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

Universität Rostock Rostock · Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

About the Program

Computational Science and Engineering is a rapidly growing field based on Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. The program aims to develop skills for computer simulations of technical and natural systems in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering as well as Physics, based on numerical methods. The program offers three specializations: Computational Electrical Engineering (CEE), Computational Mechanical Engineering (CME), and Computational Physics (CP). In the first three semesters, students deepen their knowledge in numerical analysis, partial differential equations, and high-performance computing. The 4th semester is dedicated to the master thesis. Numerical simulations allow work in fields inaccessible to conventional testing methods, and as computers become more powerful, the scope for modeling and simulation constantly expands. In many cases, the design process happens entirely within the computer. The degree qualifies graduates for leading positions in engineering or research, or to enter doctoral programs.
