The four-semester master’s degree treats the knowledge acquired in the Technical Mathematics bachelor programme in more depth. Mathematical Computer Science lies at the threshold between mathematics and computer science. Mathematics plays various roles in computer science. It provides methods for the analysis of computer science procedures and objects. For instance, tools from discrete mathematics and analysis are used to investigate precisely the runtime and memory requirements of computer processes (algorithms). Furthermore, mathematical constructions allow deeper insights to be made into computer information; for instance, investigating the limits of computer feasibility in theoretical computer science. Finally, areas of computer science use mathematical objects to implement computer tasks; thus, classical algebraic structures lie at the basis of error-free transmission of data (coding theory) and data encryption (cryptography).
NAWI Graz – Competence to the Second Power
The Mathematical Computer Science programme at NAWI Graz is offered as a joint programme of Graz University of Technology and Karl-Franzens University. For students this means that they can profit from the outstanding achievements and the competences of two universities – an absolute novelty in Austria!
Working as a Computer Scientist
Due to the design of the course, there are job opportunities in the areas of IT and mathematics. Due to their acquired skills of structured thinking, graduates are valued in many areas and often find fast opportunities for promotion.
The first three semesters provide a relevant education in mathematics and information technology, as well as an in-depth study of either cryptography or algorithms (drafting and analysing computer processes). Furthermore, a personal profile can be developed through the choice of specific optional subjects. A master’s thesis is written in the final fourth semester. Graduates will be awarded the academic degree of “Diplom-Ingenieurin” or “Diplom-Ingenieur”, which is internationally equivalent to a “Master of Science” (“MSc”).
Candidates for admission to the Master's Programme must have successfully completed a relevant Bachelor's programme or other equivalent degree programmme.
