Overview

Computational Science and Engineering is a new, rapidly growing field that is, in addition to the major subject, based on Applied Mathematics and Computer Science.

Key Features

The aim of the Computational Science and Engineering program from University of Rostock is the acquisition of skills to carry out computer simulations of technical and natural systems in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering as well as Physics based on a sound knowledge 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.

Three specializations offered:

Computational Electrical Engineering (CEE)

Computational Mechanical Engineering (CME)

Computational Physics (CP)

The language of instruction in the master's program in Computational Science and Engineering is English. It is possible to complete the entire master's program in English. Individual elective modules including module exams are offered in German.

The master's program in Computational Science and Engineering leads to a second professional qualification and enables you to pursue a doctorate.

Successful completion of this course of study entitles you to use the protected professional title of “engineer” in accordance with the Architectural and Engineering Law of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Careers

Within this course, you will acquire a broad range of skills that is indispensable for engineers and physicists with a focus 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 profound knowledge of computational mathematics opens up prospects for the future with excellent career opportunities.
