Program Objectives

Upon successful completion of the program, students will be able to capture and model complex systems and processes through computer-based data analysis, as well as to use these models to make computational predictions (i. e. simulations) about the future behaviour of a system. The goal of the program is to convey cross-application methods and techniques of computer science, scientific computing and computer-aided sciences. Within the individual tracks, students acquire application-specific domain knowledge and apply obtained methods and techniques to real-life problems. Depending on the selected track, graduates are thus able to model and simulate complex systems and interrelations using computer technology in the areas of:

•     Energy systems and energy markets,
•     Machines and technical systems,
•     biological and medical systems,
•     mathematical models,
•     visual data and artificial realities,

•     formal systems.

The program focusses on the ability to develop and apply new approaches and algorithms for solving problems. The knowledge and skills imparted are generic and transferable between the fields of application guaranteeing a future-oriented skill-set.

Career Perspectives

Having gained broad technical knowledge, graduates are prepared to tackle in their professional life a large variety of complex tasks in the fields of computer science and modeling and simulation. Graduates are qualified for both scientific research (Ph.D.) and related professional fields. They will have the possibility to continue in basic research, conduct research in institutions of higher education, or occupy a position in an industrial company.
