Master's Programme in Computational Science and Engineering, 120 Credits

About the programme

Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) is a field of knowledge which aims at the development of methods that rely on computers and mathematics to model, simulate, and visualize various kinds of systems. CS&E combines several different disciplines such as computer science including numerical analysis, applied mathematics, physics, and technology. The applications are literally found everywhere. They typically deal with complicated and/or complex systems, and often require the management and analysis of large data sets. Applications include image analysis, optimization of industrial processes, web-based search for information, risk analysis, the mechanism behind aurora borealis, pricing of financial derivates, computer games, and special effects in movies.

Level of education: Continuation programme Application and eligibility Programme syllabus

Instruction

The Master's Programme in CS&E begins with four compulsory courses that provide both the basic knowledge and a solid foundation for the more specialized courses that follow. The programme closes with a diploma work that gives opportunities both to make use of the attained knowledge and to learn the more specific tricks of the trade for a certain application.

Career Opportunities

CS&E is widely used both in scientific research and advanced industrial development. The efficiency in this kind of work is however greatly boosted by a solid education. The Master's Programme in CS&E gives both a basic knowledge of the field and the specialization needed to successfully complete projects within research and development.

The degree obtained is Master in Computational Science and Engineering.
