Welcome to the Master’s program Computational Sciences!
Using computational mathematical approaches
to study scientific phenomena
Students of the interdisciplinary master’s degree program Computational Sciences learn how to apply and advance precise mathematical and computational methods and to develop software for solving current scientific problems. Classes are mainly taught in English by instructors from the disciplines of Chemistry, Physics, Geosciences, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
The next regular application period is April - May 2026 for fall 2026/27 admission.Structure of the program
The four-semester master's program combines theoretical and application-oriented contents and is divided into the following four components:
- Synchronization: Learn basic concepts of computational sciences and establish an interdisciplinary profile by selecting subjects different from the respective bachelor’s degree program
- Scientific Computing: Set a priority in numerics, statistics, or computer science
- Specialization: Focus on one of three scientific fields: molecular sciences, geosciences, or atmospheric sciences
- Master’s thesis: Carry out a research project in your field of specialization
Typical combinations include:
