Career prospects

Candidates holding a Master’s degree in Computational Science and Engineering have a modern education with elements derived from mathematics, engineering, the natural sciences and informatics in various combinations, numerical calculations being the common factor.

During the programme, you will obtain a solid academic foundation and gain broad experience in advanced numerical calculations and in practical problem solving.

With this background you are qualified for modern, technology oriented research- and developmental assignments within a number of sectors.

You may find work in e.g.

  • research institutions,
  • oil companies and in
  • high technology engineering firms.

The IT-sector is also a relevant market for graduates from the programme. There is also a need for people in education and administration.

The study programme provides the candidates with a solid theoretical and methodological foundation and is therefore relevant for further PhD studies (research education) and research.
