Master in MSc Computational and Applied Mathematics (CAM)

The application deadline is 15 Jul · 15 Jan.

The Master's programme in Computational and Applied Mathematics (CAM) at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg is designed for students who apply rigorous mathematical analysis and scientific computing to the prediction of physical phenomena or the optimisation of engineering and scientific processes. The programme builds from a shared core in mathematical modelling, applied analysis, and high performance computing toward student-selected specialisations. From the second semester, students choose two of three specialisation fields: Modelling and Applied Analysis, Numerical Analysis and Simulation, and Optimisation. The elective courses within these fields cover topics such as PDE analysis, numerical simulation in continuum mechanics, transport processes in complex multiphase flow, fluid-structure interactions, multiscale analysis, mathematics in the life sciences, shape optimisation, optimisation with PDE, and discrete optimisation. Students may also take modules from the university's full Master's-level portfolio beyond mathematics. The programme spans 4 semesters and is available from both the winter and summer semesters. Each student is assigned a faculty mentor who helps design an individual study plan. The fourth semester is spent on the Master's thesis and colloquium. Each student is also required to demonstrate German language proficiency at level A1 no later than one year into the programme; the university offers German language courses free of charge to enrolled students. The programme is offered at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany.
