Academic programs
The German Research School for Simulation Sciences is dedicated to research and education in the applications and methods of HPC-based computer simulation in science and engineering. We provide a Master’s and a doctoral program for outstanding graduate students and are aiming at training the next generation of computational scientists and engineers. Coursework and research opportunities in topic areas ranging from state-of-the-art methods to the most advanced applications of computer simulation in the disciplines science and engineering are offered.
The Master’s degree is obtained in the new and accredited program Simulation Sciences.
Doctoral students will work in either a group directly belonging to the German Research School for Simulation Sciences or in one of the diverse groups associated with it.
