MSc Computational Methods in Engineering at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg

Entry requirements

Relevant bachelor's degree (at least 180 CP) and an average grade of at least 2.300 determined from the examination results. Proof of subject-specific competence through: - A minimum of 25 CP in the competency areas of Mathematics and Computer Science (including at least 15 CP in Mathematics and at least 5 CP in Computer Science), - 40 CP in the competency area of Fundamentals of Engineering Sciences (including 10 CP in Engineering Mechanics and 5 CP in Fluid Mechanics or Thermodynamics) If the degree has not yet been obtained at the time of application and no more than 25 CP are missing until the completion of the bachelor's degree program, an application is possible. Nevertheless, proof of subject-specific competences and the determined average grade of 2.300 must be provided at the time of application (except uni-assist applications). Furthermore, sufficient knowledge of the English language at the C1 level must be demonstrated. It is possible to ask for an equivalence test at the examination board of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. In addition to the general admission requirements, applicants who have obtained their Bachelor’s degree in India, Bangladesh or Pakistan must provide proof of subject-specific knowledge by submitting results from either the “Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test” or the “Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE)” with the minimum required score or higher (see annex: Proof of Subject-Specific Knowledge via GRE General Test or GATE in the Context of Admission Requirements in the Program-Specific Study and Examination Regulations) Graduates from an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) or the Indian Institute of Science (IISc Bengaluru) are exempt from the GATE requirement. Instead of the GATE/GRE document, they must submit their academic transcript from their respective institution (IIT or IISc). No admission restriction (no numerus clausus). Application deadlines: Applicants with German Bachelor degree (apply directly to OVGU): 15 September; Applicants with International Bachelor degree (via uni-assist): 15 July.
