Bachelor German + English Mathematics & Natural Sciences

Computational Science

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Computational Science encompasses three main areas: applied mathematics, bioinformatics/genomics, and physics. You will take classes from all three areas during your first year. In the second year, you will focus on two of these areas. In your third year, you will deepen the knowledge in the area of your primary interest and write your bachelor's thesis. You will learn how to develop scientific software, how to simulate complex systems on a computer, gain insight from large datasets and how to use advanced mathematical methods to optimize processes. This is a program that will teach you how to do science with computers. (It's not computer science.) Alumni typically work in R&D departments of engineering or pharmaceutical companies, or pursue the Master of Science in Computational Science. An academic career is also possible.
