MSc Scientific Computing at Heidelberg University

Scientific Computing students work to develop applied mathematics methods and algorithms, implement these methods using modern computing technologies, and apply them to real-world problems.

Faculty: Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science  |  Department: Due to the combination of specialist knowledge and pronounced research orientation of the study program, students directly apply the newly learned methods to solve application questions. At the same time, they prepare themselves intensively for complex activities in industries such as the software, technology, and finance sectors or in research. The integrated collaboration in a research group and the connection to the graduate school HGS MathComp favor a direct transition to a doctorate.  |  Duration: 4 semesters (2 years)  |  Study mode: full-time (part-time option available); English-taught and German-taught and partially German-taught  |  Intake: Winter and summer semester  |  Location: Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

What you will study

Students complete advanced lectures, seminars, and practicals from the elective areas of mathematics and computer science. They compile their own study plan from the course offer according to their interests and thus set their own study focus.

Career pathways

A practical stay in a research group prepares students for writing their Master's thesis.
