About this programme

The Master’s programme in "Computational Modelling and Simulation" (CMS) is research-oriented, interdisciplinary and international. It is a joint curriculum between TUD’s Faculty of Computer Science, the Faculty of Mathematics, and the Centre for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering (CMCB) with participation of the Faculty of Psychology, the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Business and Economics, the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering. This programme teaches the mathematical and algorithmic foundations and applications of computational modelling (learning models from data/machine learning, inverse problem, artificial intelligence) and computer simulation (numerical simulation, forward problem, logic). Specialisation is provided in one of the following application-specific tracks, offering unique flexibility to students: Computational Life Sciences (CMCB, Computer Science) Computational Mathematics (Mathematics) Visual Computing (Computer Science) Computational Modelling in Energy Economics (Economics) Computational Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) Applied Artificial Intelligence (Computer Science) Computational Environmental Science and Engineering (Environmental Sciences) The CMS programme also offers the possibility to study on a fast-track into a structured PhD programme, benefiting from the participation of local key partners in the relevant fields, such as an
