Computational Science and Engineering

Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.)

​Do you want to become an engineer and use IT systems to solve problems in science, medicine, economics and the life sciences?Then the course Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) could be perfect for you – our degree program for IT fans interested in science.

In many areas, the technical world and the virtual world are becoming progressively interlinked.This particularly applies to product development.Since carrying out experiments is expensive or often not possible, innovative products are increasingly created using sophisticated computer systems, mathematical modeling and simulation.

Together with Ulm University, in this six-semester degree program we enable you to get to grips with technical, engineering and scientific problems, model them mathematically, and use modern software to simulate and optimize them.In this joint degree program, the University's research-focus is united with the practical approach of the University of Applied Sciences.The course concept is funded under the joint initiative "Bologna - the future of teaching" by the Mercator Foundation and the Volkswagen Foundation.​

You can also take this degree program with in-depth practical experience.

Please enroll for this degree program via Ulm University.

Prerequisites

There is no limit to the study places available on the Bachelor's degree program CSE (no numerus clausus).If you have a subject-specific higher-education entrance qualification, a general qualification for university entrance or a comparable qualification, you will definitely be awarded a place on the course.A pre-study internship is not required for this degree program.

Other important prerequisites to study CSE are an interest in mathematics and computing, as well as enthusiasm regarding natural science and engineering problems​.The virtual degree taster quiz will give you a comprehensive insight into the degree program and inform you about your strengths and weaknesses concerning the demands the degree program will place on you.We hope this will help you make the right decision about which course to take.

The degree program CSE is taught in the German language.Therefore, foreign applicants must provide evidence of the required proficiency in the German language.

Course schedule

The six-semester degree program focuses on the classical subjects of mathematics, computer science and the fundamentals of engineering and the natural sciences.These subjects provide a solid and broad education.

In the first four semesters you will be taught the basic tools you need to answer questions concerning engineering, natural sciences, medicine or life sciences using computer simulations.From the fifth semester onwards, you will be able to structure your course individually: a large selection of module options, numerous projects, and an internship lasting at least three months will allow you enough freedom to tailor your course to your inclinations and interests.In the fifth semester, thanks to the preplanned mobility option, you can also take part in an exchange program abroad without extending the duration of your course.The internship in the sixth semester is compulsory for this degree program, and will last at least three months.Alternatively, the internship can be extended to up to nine months, whereby the length of the course is extended to seven semesters.Finally, directly after the internship, comes the Bachelor thesis.After successful completion of this degree program you will be awarded the academic degree title "Bachelor of Science".

This degree course is a joint, interdisciplinary program with Ulm University. The University contributes to the curriculum mainly with its expertise in applied mathematics and computer science. The interdisciplinary subject "Modeling and Simulation" and the science and engineering modules are taught almost exclusively by Ulm University of Applied Sciences.​
