Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) stands for interdisciplinary computer-aided mathematical modeling and simulation of questions and problems of natural sciences and engineering, but also medicine and life sciences. Computer-aided simulations have become irreplaceable in research and development. Nowadays, new insights aren't merely founded on theoretical reflections and experiments but more and more on computer simulations.

The CSE Master's builds on the CSE Bachelor’s programme yet is also an interesting advanced pathway for graduates with related Bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Computer Science, Physics, and similar areas of study. Bachelor's graduates aspiring to do the CSE Master’s programme should have knowledge and competencies in applied mathematics, computer science and an area of natural sciences or engineering.
