Master of Science (M.Sc.)

Technische Universität Dortmund Dortmund · North Rhine-Westphalia

About the Program

The Master's degree program in Technomathematics provides graduates with the expertise needed for a challenging career in industry and business or in public service. Many technical processes are not initially implemented in practice, but rather simulated in computers. For example, in order to find out how long a component can withstand mechanical loads and when it will first start to crack, it is not necessary to perform destructive testing of the actual, often expensive components; instead, the answers sought are obtained through models and simulations. Here, technomathematicians take part in intelligent product development, for example by creating and optimizing complex simulations. Furthermore, the Master's degree program qualifies graduates to pursue a doctoral degree in Mathematics or an applied subject. The Master's degree program in Technomathematics spans four semesters and primarily serves to deepen the student's mastery of the theoretical foundations of applied mathematics. Compared to the Bachelor's degree program, the process in the focus area is characterized by significantly greater freedom of choice. During three semesters, students attend lectures and seminars in applied and pure mathematics and carry out a Master's project in Technomathematics. Along with mathematics, a minor subject in technology or natural sciences is studied; this minor subject is continued in the Master's program by completing advanced modules in the chosen subject. In the fourth semester, a Master's thesis (six months) is completed.
