About

This degree programme is tailored to the current needs in applied mathematics and scientific computing. It is designed for students who appreciate using rigorous mathematical analysis or scientific computing for the prediction of phenomena or for the optimisation of processes in the sciences or in engineering. Initially, the students acquire a firm grounding in mathematical modelling and applied analysis as well as in high performance computing. They learn to derive mathematical models and to reflect upon the properties and limitations of models. Starting in the second semester, the students are free to choose from a large variety of courses in order to specialise in two of the three following fields: Modelling and Applied Analysis Numerical Analysis and Simulation Optimisation The subjects of these mandatory elective courses (which all are taught in English) reflect the mathematical research pursued at Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU). They range from modelling, PDE analysis and numerical simulation in mathematical continuum mechanics (transport processes in complex multiphase flow, fluid-structure interactions) to multiscale analysis and mathematics in the life sciences. They also include various fields of mathematical optimisation, including shape optimisation, optimisation with PDE, and discrete optimisation. In addition, the study plan permits students to attend a number of modules chosen from the entire portfolio of the university's Master's level classes to follow their interests beyond mathematics or in other fields of mathematics.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

The requirement for admission to the Master's degree programme is a good Bachelor's degree in a mathematical programme or in a closely related field with a substantial content of mathematical courses (at least 45 ECTS). Qualification or aptitude for the Master's degree programme is examined in the qualification assessment process. Applicants with a degree that is not in mathematics but in a related field can only be admitted after passing an oral exam. The criteria of this oral exam are: basic knowledge in functional analysis or in the theory of differential equations, basic knowledge in numerics or in optimisation, ability to discuss mathematics in English, e.g., on the applicant's Bachelor's thesis.
