Note. If a course was part of the student's bachelor's programme, then the student should take an alternative course. The alternative for "Numerical Linear Algebra" is the Seminar Iterative Methods, the alternative for "Parallel Algorithms" is High Performance Scientific Computing.
If the number of participants for a course is low, the course will be given in the form of projects.

Research Project

The research project is carried out as an internship of 4.5 - 6 months during the second semester at a research department in industry or at another research institute.
