Concept

The Master's program Simulation Sciences consists of mandatory and elective courses. In the mandatory courses students will obtain a basic knowledge which will enable them to work on problems in the field of simulation sciences and their applications. These mandatory courses serve as so-called harmonization courses, in order to achieve a common advanced basis of students with quite different academic background.

The elective courses contain modules from mathematics, computer science, engineering, and the natural sciences and serve as specializing courses. By individually selecting elective courses the student determines the main focus of her / his curriculum; it might be methods-oriented, expert-oriented in a certain field, or interdisciplinary.

The study plan of each student will be set up individually together with a scientific and an administrative mentor. The two mentor will advise and accompany the student through her / his study.

Besides academic issues a service team will assist each student with problems of all kind, e.g. bureaucratic affairs and housing.
