Overview

By its interdisciplinary approach, connecting computer science and mathematics with the natural sciences (astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics), the emphasis is on computationally relevant aspects of research and data processing in the respective domain of the natural sciences.

Current natural science domain-specific problems are tackled by means of scientific and mathematical tools and translated into computer algorithms. Such methodological proceedings allow for in depth research on highly complex current issues by employing "computer experiments" and a comprehensive description and presentation of the impact system parameters have on results.

Career:

Students in the Computational Science master at University of Vienna acquire knowledge in the computational areas of the disciplines mathematics, informatics, astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics.

The degree programme equips students with excellent qualifications at the interface between the MIN fields and computer science. Due to its computer-scientific approach to identifying, understanding and implementing computer-related questions in the individual fields of research, science and business, the master's programme in Computational Science represents an addition to the empirical and often experimental basic education of the bachelor's programme.
