Table of contents
1. organization and structure
The Master's degree program in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) is a cross-university degree program offered jointly by TU Dresden and TU Bergakademie Freiberg. As a consecutive Master's degree program, it is aimed at Bachelor's graduates from the fields of computer science, mathematics, physics and all engineering sciences.
It combines computer science with a focus on high-performance computing as a methodological science with application in the natural and engineering sciences with the exemplary field of application of thermofluid dynamics. It thus addresses the use of methods of computer science and high-performance computing, numerics and scientific computing in many scientific and industrial fields of application.
The degree program between the two universities is structured as follows:
- Semester in Dresden on the subject of computer science with a focus on high-performance computing
- Semester in Freiberg on the subject of engineering sciences and numerics with the exemplary special field of thermofluid dynamics
- Semester in Dresden or Freiberg according to your choice of specialization:
- either with the specialization in high-performance computing at TU Dresden
- or with the specialization in Numerical Engineering at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg
- Semester: Dresden or Freiberg after choosing the topic and supervisor of the Master's thesis
The program is designed as a face-to-face course, not as a distance learning or online course. The course can only be started in the winter semester.
2 Contents
The content of the Master's degree program comes from numerics, computer science with a focus on high-performance computing and engineering sciences with a special focus on thermofluid dynamics. They are particularly focused on the interrelationships between the three fields.
3. objectives
The degree program aims to broaden knowledge and skills in the departments required for the numerical treatment of technical and scientific problems, to deepen understanding and to acquire further basic knowledge.
After completing the degree program, students will have an insight into the theoretical research work of the Faculty of Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering at TU Bergakademie Freiberg and the Faculty of Computer Science at TUD Dresden University of Technology. In particular, they are able to use methods from numerics and high-performance computing to solve scientific and engineering problems.
The Master's degree program prepares students for a career primarily in research-related but also in application-related fields of activity. It is characterized by a wide variety of possible fields of work. In the Master's degree course, students acquire the in-depth ability to analyze complex processes in science and technology systematically and quantitatively and to model and simulate them using numerical methods. As part of the Master's thesis, students provide evidence that they can solve appropriately complicated scientific tasks from the field of work of the participating faculties under supervision. The ability to work together scientifically is encouraged.
4. graduation
If the Master's examination is passed, TU Bergakademie Freiberg and TU Dresden jointly award the academic degree "Master of Science" (abbreviated to M. Sc.).
5 Admission requirements and application
The Master's degree program CSE is admission-free and does not require an aptitude test. The prerequisite for admission to the course is a first professionally qualifying university degree recognized in Germany or a degree from a state or state-recognized vocational academy in the fields of computer science, mathematics, natural sciences or engineering. The application period for German applicants runs from June 1 to September 15, for foreign applicants from April 1 to July 15 each year for the start of the winter semester.
