Course Description
The Scientific Computing master's program is a specialized course designed for gifted students. It covers the creation and mathematical scrutiny of high-performing numerical procedures, encompassing the full solution pathway, from modeling to result visualization. This includes mathematical, numerical, and statistical analyses, optimization, and algorithm implementation on high-speed computers. The simulation problems originate from disciplines like biochemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering. Throughout their coursework, students get the opportunity to contribute to ongoing research projects.

The Master's program in Scientific Computing is designed for highly talented students working at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and physics who are interested in advancing their qualifications to meet future challenges in numerical simulation.

VPD (Vorprüfungsdokumentation) is a preliminary review document issued by uni-assist for international applicants to German universities. It serves as an official assessment of a student’s foreign academic qualifications, confirming their eligibility to apply for a specific study programme in Germany. The VPD summarises key information such as verified grades, the grading system of the home country, and the converted German grade equivalent. Applicants submit this document directly to the university instead of all original certificates, allowing the institution to make faster admission decisiοns.
Applies only to applicants holding degrees from India, Vietnam, and mainland China.
APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) is a joint institution of the German Embassy and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) that verifies the authenticity and academic quality of foreign educational documents. It is required for applicants from certain countries (such as China, India, and Vietnam) who wish to study in Germany. The APS process involves checking academic transcripts, certificates, and, in some cases, conducting interviews to confirm eligibility for higher education in Germany. Once approved, applicants receive an APS certificate, which must be submitted with their university application as proof that their qualifications meet German academiс standards.
It can be obtained during the first year of the prοgram.
Numerics skills in an amount of at least 16 credit points. Please upload here a module description of the course that provides information about your numerics skills. Applicants who can not provide these skills will be enrolled upon successful admission on the condition that they submit the evidence at least by the end of the second semestеr.
