Aim:
The master's programme Engineering Mathematics and Computational Science aims to provide the students with enhanced skills for mathematical-statistical-scientific analysis of real world problems in science and industry, as well as for numerical computational modeling of such problems and analysis/visualization of the computed results. Upon graduation the students will be well trained engineering mathematicians for industry or continuation in graduate studies.

Learning outcome:
Knowledge and understanding
- After the compulsory part of the programme the students have a broad mathematical knowledge and they are able to make relevant choices of
continued courses and specializations according to their interests and capabilities
On the completion of the studies the students will be able to:
- mathematically classify and analyze problems from the physical reality, to some extent also complex phenomena being beforehand unknown
to them.
- use computer algorithms, programs and software packages to compute solutions to current problems.
By a proper choices of courses preparing for continued studies, the students will be well fostered for entering PhD studies in mathematics, mathematical statistics, or computational science and thereby be able to contribute to advancements in research in these areas.
Skills and abilities
On the completion of the studies the students will be able to:
- make a mathematical model of a real‐world problem requiring non‐trivial mathematics, to some extent even for problems they have not
met before. This outcome is unique for the specialization Mathematics
- make a mathematical‐statistical model of a real‐word problem requiring non‐trivial mathematical statistics, to some extent even for
problems they have not met before. This outcome is unique for the specialization Mathematical Statistics
- derive and use the numerical techniques needed for a professional solution of a given mathematically‐statistically formulated problem.
- With the generalist approach of the programme, the students will be able to analyze new mathematical and computational challenges in science
and engineering and thereby contribute to advancements in science and industry.
- By the courses in CSE the students become able to use computation as a professional tool in one or several scientific or engineering fields.
This outcome is unique for the specialization Computational Science and Engineering.
- The students, in particular those having got a diploma supplement in form of an ECMI certificate, are able to contribute in the field of
industrial mathematics and to operate on a European scale
- Through application and practice the students will be able to contribute to team‐based engineering work and projects in a multi‐cultural
environment.
Formulation of judgements and attitudes
On the completion of the programme the students will be able to:
- critically analyze and give advice regarding different choices of models, algorithms, and software with respect to efficiency and
reliability.
- critically analyze the accuracy of the obtained numerical results and to present them using computer graphics.
- With the broad platform in Engineering Mathematics and Computational Science and Engineering formed by studies in this master's programme,
the students will be able to:
- contribute to a public discussion on the role of Mathematics and Scientific Computing in research, industry, and society.
- make relevant considerations regarding scientific, social, and ethical aspects on research and development in these disciplines.
