MSc. Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization

Informationen
The Master’s program “Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization” (MMSO) is deliberately designed as an English study program, as it intends to prepare students for the entry into a highly internationalized working and research field. In addition to lectures on mathematical modeling, simulation and optimization of complex systems, elective modules allow an individual focus. An application- and research-oriented project seminar concludes the study program, additionally to the Master’s thesis. The degree program qualifies you as an expert with a repertoire of modern mathematical and computer-aided methods that you can apply flexibly to solve problems arising in various fields such as engineering, consulting or finance.
The two-years M.Sc. program MMSO is the first of its kind in Germany. During the first and second semester, you take courses in applied mathematics, physics, and computer science needed for advanced modeling, simulation and optimization of complex systems. In the third semester, you start focusing on a specific area and subject by choosing from modules of interests. A project seminar reinforces the specialization and prepares for the Master’s thesis in the fourth semester. This thesis is an individual research work which is typically embedded in a larger current research project within the university or in collobaration with external partners.

What are the prospects after completing the master’s degree?

 

Graduates of Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization will be generalists rather than specialists: with broad knowledge and skills, they will be the versatile and conjunctive backbone of interdisciplinary teams coping with future challenges. Consequently, they find interesting positions in major companies addressing, e.g., engineering, consulting, or finance.


Alternatively, a Ph.D. degree in mathematics, physics, or computer science in Koblenz, Germany, or abroad may be pursued.

The institute is a member of ECMI (European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry) and collaborates in international research projects. Thus, the institute has international connections for stays abroad (in Europe, the US, China, India, or Indonesia) and supports and advises students if they are interested in spending some time abroad:

  • Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, India
  • Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), Finland
  • Sumy State University (SSU), Ukraine
  • National Mining University (MNU), Dnipro, Ukraine
