Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) University of Rostock

The course of study is interdisciplinary. It offers the following areas of specialisation:

• Computational Electrical Engineering
• Computational Mechanical Engineering

There are joint classes on general methods of applied mathematics and on the German language.

During the first three semesters, students follow mandatory and elective courses in order to achieve a total sum of 90 credit points (30 credit points each semester). In the fourth semester, students will write and defend their Master's theses (30 credit points).

1. Applicants have to prove a first university degree qualifying for a profession in the subject of Computational Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, or Mechanical Engineering, with a minimum of 180 credit points, or a similar degree.
2. Applicants have to prove profound knowledge in the following academic fields:

• For studies of Computational Electrical Engineering: electromagnetic fields and waves 3 credit points, mathematics 18 credit points, programming 6 credit points
• For studies of Computational Mechanical Engineering: 18 credit points mathematics, 18 credit points in technical mechanics, 6 credit points in thermodynamics, 6 credit points in fluid mechanics, 9 credit points in programming

An admission will only be given if a successful graduation from the Master's course of study can be expected. Therefore, we accept only candidates who have completed their first university degree with at least 85% of the CGPA (cumulative grade point average (e.g. your final Bachelor grade should be better than 3.5 from 4 or 8.5 from 10 ...)) or with a comparable grade in a different grading system. Alternatively, the applicant should be able to prove any other qualifications relevant for this Master's course of study that may lead to the prospect of a successful graduation based on overall academic progress.

You can enhance your performance with a GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) with a minimum score of 500.

333 EUR per semester (may increase each semester) including the semester ticket 

There are limited opportunities for international students to work while studying. Foreign students with a residence permit for study purposes are allowed to work as far as this work does not exceed 120 full days or 240 half days a calendar year. In addition, they can work as student assistants. Other jobs need to be approved by the labour authorities and the Immigration Office. Permissions are granted only in special cases. Thus, you should not plan to finance your studies by working during the programme.

Rostock's dormitory places are arranged and assigned by the student services organisation, Studentenwerk Rostock. Their website provides information on location, facilities, and monthly rent. An application for a place in a dormitory can be filed online or downloaded and sent by mail to the following address:
