Computer Simulation in Science (MSc)

The MSc programme Computer Simulation in Science (CSiS) focuses on the development, implementation, and application of computer-oriented simulation techniques and methods to modern research problems in natural sciences and engineering. All courses of this MSc programme are taught in English. Students choose a field of advanced studies from atmospheric physics, computational electromagnetics, computational finance, computational fluid mechanics, detector physics, imaging in medicine, molecular and materials modelling, or theoretical particle physics. Preliminary knowledge at the Bachelor's level in the chosen subject and knowledge of at least one programming language is required. A parallel computer dedicated to the Master's study programme has been installed at the university. Extensive computer lab courses are part of the curriculum. Contacts have been established with Research Center Jülich since January 2009. Once the field of advanced studies has been selected, the course schedule consists mainly of mandatory courses. It is expected that students develop independent and responsible working skills. Substantial weekly homework is required in all courses. Presentations by the students are part of the preparation towards the Master's thesis. The MSc starts with a block course on mathematical foundations. It starts before the official start of the teaching period and lasts for two weeks. It will be followed by an examination. Students should check the dates on the website of the programme. The module reference book contains the detailed course descriptions. For further details on the programme, please visit: https://www.csis.uni-wuppertal.de/en/.

Prerequisites

Bachelor's degree or German Diploma ("Diplom") degree in applied science, chemistry, electrical engineering, computational finance, mathematics, mechanical engineering, physics, safety engineering, or in a related field. The regular length of the Bachelor's study programme should equal at least six semesters, and it should correspond to 180 ECTS credits. The Master's course of study requires advanced knowledge in one of the fields of specialisation: atmospheric physics, computational electromagnetics, computational finance, computational fluid mechanics, detector physics, imaging in medicine, molecular and materials modelling, or theoretical particle physics. Knowledge of mathematics corresponding to a Bachelor of Science or Engineering is also required. Knowledge of at least one programming language corresponding to eight ECTS A self-assessment of programming skills is provided on the website. It is a mandatory step on the scientific check sheet. Self-assessment for each specialisation is also provided on the website. We may require a digital entrance examination on basic mathematics at the Bachelor's level and programming skills. Please refer to our website to see the documents required for application. If you are not a German citizen, you must include a completed copy of this application form. Applicants from the PRC, Mongolia, Vietnam, and India should enclose their APS certificate with their application. For more detailed information, please go to our website.
