Master of Science [M.S] [Computer Simulations for Science and Engineering] From KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The Computer Simulation for Science and Engineering at the is a two-year programme including compulsory mobility for the students. They will enter one of the universities and continue in their second year at one of the other universities. As a general rule, students will be admitted to TU Berlin for the first year.

The programme includes three semesters of courses followed by a fourth research semester spent on a master?s thesis (30 ECTS credits) under the supervision of both universities attended. The students receive two degrees from both the first and second year universities.

Careers

As to career opportunities, a degree from the master's programme in opens several opportunities:

• to join the international research community by continuing PhD studies in the CSE and science/engineering fields where simulation and high-performance computing is applied: fluid dynamics, electromagnetics, molecular physics, quantum chemistry, material science, chemical engineering, structural mechanics, biocomputing, and many more.
• to gain employment in ?end-user? high-tech industry and ?provider companies?, using and developing tools for advanced computer simulation in the pharmaceutical, automotive, materials, aeronautics, power generation, micro-electronics, etc. industries.
• to start new innovative companies which are based on CSE expertise.

The programme is highly research oriented. So far, roughly two thirds of the graduates have continued with a PhD position at the consortium partners KTH, TU Berlin, and TU Delft as well as at leading international universities, for example, MIT (USA), [?A1] Oxford University (UK), Purdue University (USA), Uppsala University (Sweden), ETH (Switzerland), Karolinska Institute (Sweden), University Melbourne (Australia), INRIA (France), Simon Fraser University (Canada), UPC Barcelona (Spain), NTU Singapore, and many others.

The graduates of this programme are in high demand on the labour market as well. Alumni work in large and smaller companies such as Ericsson (Sweden), IBM Peking (China), BASF (Germany), Tata Steel (The Netherlands), DeCode genetics (Iceland), Sabic (India), AT Kearney (The Netherlands), HERE (Germany), TNO (The Netherlands) and many others.
