Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation (MSc)
Master advanced mathematical and computer-based methods for modelling, simulating, and optimising complex systems.
Best for:Best for analytical graduates with a background in mathematics, physics, or computer science seeking expertise in simulation and optimization.
Overview
The Master of Science in Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation at the University of Koblenz is a two-year graduate programme focusing on advanced techniques in applied mathematics and computer science. Run by the university, the curriculum provides a broad methodological foundation for generalist experts who tackle real-world technological, biological, and socio-economic problems. Students engage in interdisciplinary seminars, compulsory core modules, and customizable electives, culminating in a three-month practical project and a Master's thesis. Applicants are expected to hold a relevant bachelor's degree and demonstrate strong quantitative aptitude along with proficiency in English.
What you'll do
- Complete core modules covering applied differential equations, numerics for partial differential equations, and optimisation techniques
- Select elective courses from applied mathematics, applied physics, or computer sciences to build an individual specialization
- Collaborate in small multidisciplinary teams during project seminars to solve complex, real-world problems
- Conduct independent research during a three-month practical placement at a research institution, enterprise, or university
- Author and defend a comprehensive Master's thesis demonstrating independent scientific research capabilities
