About this programme

The programme will teach how to apply precise mathematical and computer-based methods and to develop software for solving current scientific problems. The instructors in the programme are from the disciplines of chemistry, physics, geosciences, mathematics, and computer science. The four-semester Master's programme combines theoretical and application-oriented contents. It is divided into the following four components: Synchronisation : learning fundamental methods of computational sciences and establishing an interdisciplinary profile from courses that have not been addressed in the students' Bachelor's degree programmes Scientific computing : setting a priority in numerics, statistics, or computer science Specialisation : focus on one of the three scientific fields: molecular sciences, geosciences, or atmospheric sciences Master's thesis: writing up a research project in the field chosen for specialisation The Master's programme covers fundamental and advanced terminology, structures, methods, and processes in a wide range of structured and applied areas of scientific knowledge combined with supplementary courses. It ensures that students have the opportunity to specialise in current research. It also promotes the development of independent scientific thinking with a particular focus on the use of computers to expand knowledge. Students gain and deepen their competence in combined mathematical, computer-related and applied scientific expertise. They also systematically deve
