Overview

As a student on this degree program, you will first acquire a solid knowledge of mathematical modelling, applied analysis and scientific calculation. You will learn how to set up mathematical models and investigate their properties and limitations.

All modules are conducted in English, the international scientific language. The degree program is aimed at students from Germany and from all over the world. In addition to mathematical knowledge, students also strengthen their cultural and communication skills, offering them an advantage in today’s world with international teams working in industry and science.

Compulsory elective modules enable students to tailor their studies to their interests from a wide range of options. The compulsory elective modules reflect the mathematical research which is being conducted at FAU. They range from modelling, PDE analysis and numerical simulations in mathematical continuum mechanics (transport processes in complex multiphase flows, fluid-structure interactions) to multiscale analysis and mathematics in life sciences through to different areas of mathematical optimization, for example structure optimization, optimization with PDEs and discrete optimization.

Programme Structure

Compulsory modules in the 1st to 3rd semesters: All students take

two modules in modelling and analysis in continuum mechanics
two modules in programming techniques/architecture for/of supercomputer(s) and
a practical module in modelling, simulation and optimization.

Elective modules in the 1-3 semesters: Each student selects modules from the elective modules of the CAM degree program. Modules can also be chosen from the complete catalog of Master’s-level modules at FAU.

4th semester: The Master’s phase. Over a period of 6 months, students work on their own scientific project under the supervision of a professor and write their Master’s thesis on this topic. Students familiarize themselves with the topic beforehand by taking a Master’s seminar. They present their results in a final oral examination.

Spezialisation in Modeling and Applied Analysis, Numerical Analysis and Simulation, or Optimization.
