MSc Computational Science
Today, experiments and simulations produce enormous data sets and methods for concluding from these become more and more common. It has become a new way to search for knowledge and to create new products. For industry, computer simulations are attractive as you can do these quickly and for a smaller cost.
Large or small, at the macro or micro level, various phenomena are studied on a computer screen today. To be able to use, develop and apply computer simulations within a certain subject area requires a solid background as well as the right methods and statistical and mathematical models. The Master's Programme in Computational Science provides you with this knowledge.
You can choose between five recommended tracks of courses or you can tailor your own track depending on your educational background and areas of interest in applications in science. The five recommended study tracks are:
Numerical and mathematical modelling
Computational Physics
Computational Chemistry
Computational Finance
Distributed and High-Performance Computing
The Programme forms a strong theoretical and practical basis in mathematical modelling, a comprehensive understanding of advanced numerical methods, critical analysis of different solutions for scientific applications, and expertise to implement and use scientific software frameworks. All listed tracks are aligned with these goals.
