Mathematics in Science and Engineering Technical University of Munich

• A high-quality mathematical education with strong knowledge in the fields of analysis, optimisation and stochastics as well as in the appropriate chosen field of application, specialised knowledge in the areas of numerics, visualisation and dynamics, concrete problem-solving utilising computers and specific calculation skills using simulation and optimisation software, development of skills needed to independently familiarise oneself with new fields
• Experience within the full scientific computing and development pipeline, from the mathematical modelling of real-world phenomena to abstract analysis and algorithm development, including topics such as formal stability and convergence considerations as well as concrete realisation of methods on computer and HPC systems
• Expert knowledge from the field of application allows interpretation and further usage of the obtained data in an industrial context, e.g. research and development, in exchange and cooperation with other disciplines

Lectures and seminars take place in semesters one through three. The Master's thesis is completed in semester four. An obligatory case-study module with an industry-inspired topic, to be solved in interdisciplinary team-work over the course of a full semester, offers real life experience for later employment or research projects and theses. On-the-job training is also accomplished through obligatory internships in cooperation with businesses and companies. These cooperation programmes also provide support to students writing their Master's theses.

On-the-job training is also accomplished through obligatory internships in cooperation with businesses and companies, e.g. in manufacturing, software or consulting companies as well as in research and development departments of large corporations.

Applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree in mathematics or an equivalent qualification in a similar field of study.
Applicants are qualified if they can show proof of academic achievements that are equivalent to the qualification obtained in the Bachelor's degree programme in mathematics offered by TUM and that meet the requirements of the respective Master's degree programme.
