Why study Computational Material Science and Engineering
High Demand Jobs
One third of Open Positions in Industrial R&D in Europe are related to Computer Simulation, Programming, Modeling, Data Analysis or related fields. The rate is increasing.
Highly Paid Jobs
Computer and Simulation Engineers earn in average 10% to 20% higher salaries than comparable Engineering Job titles with traditional roles in Production.
Flexible Working
Most of Simulation Engineers and Program Developers have flexible Jobs. This includes Flexible working contracts, Home Office Bonuses, and teleworking agreements, globally accepted in this branch.
About the Program
Almost all scientific and engineering challenges in nature are Multiphysical, multiscale and multi-material problems. Multiscale challenges are important since all objects are made up of electrons and atoms at the atomic scale. At the same time, the size and shape of the objects determines the macroscopic properties and function of the objects. The engineering questions are usually can be understood as the master question “which material and which geometry should be used?” This leads us to lots of other questions including material selection, material characterization, manufacturing method and shape optimization.
Cademix Program in Computational Material Science and Engineering is a bridge for material science and engineering graduates (Bachelor, Master or PhD), who wish to continue their career in industry. Here you will learn how to translate your knowledge into robust computer programs, and then how to analyze, present, publish and sell the results from your analyses.
This program is especially designed for material science and physics graduates (however it is also available to equivalent science and engineering graduates) who already have good knowledge in physics and some basic knowledge of at least one programming language such as Fortran, C, Pascal, Basic, Java, Matlab or Python. Alternatively you might have prior knowledge of working with Material Engineering software and databases.
You will start the course by refreshing your knowledge in programming and numerical methods, and how to transfer science laws into algorithms and simulation programs. Later you will learn several methods from computational material physics, and how to apply them in multidisciplinary problems. This include solving basics problems in Mechanics, Dynamics, Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Vibrations, Atomic/molecular physics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics, semiconductor Physics as well as coupled simulation and multiscale / multiphysical problems.
Since you have lots of project options and techniques in computational material science and engineering, you should intelligently focus on topics which are relevant to your future career, or the industry you will be joining. You may consult with your lecturers or advisors to define your preferences regarding the topics you wish to focus. It is also possible for you to choose the simulation tools and programming languages you prefer.
Parallel to the technical expertise, you will also learn several soft skills and organizational skills expected in industry, with specific focus on the cultural and ethical considerations in Europe. Finally you will finish your program with a technical project and a technical report or an article.

Who Should Pursue This Program?
This Program is a Knowledge Upgrade and Career Accelerator for STEM graduates, who see the value and power of computer aided skills in the ongoing digital transformation. If you have a Bachelor or Master Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math, this is a perfect choice for you.
The Program is also designed to be an effective alternative to traditional University Master Degrees, which typically takes 2 years to complete, and usually cost you much more, especially if you consider the values of your time, and drawbacks of career delays.
Prerequisites
If you have a Bachelor Degree in an engineering or science discipline, then probably you already have most of technical prerequisites. If you have a different or equivalent educational background, you still may apply, however additional courses may be required. You are expected to have successfully taken previous undergraduate courses in calculus, physics and being familiar with MS Office tools and internet. It is an advantage, if you are familiar with one computer programming language and one CAD Software.
Your relevant job experience and training will be considered when we evaluate your application for prerequisite requirements. You will receive additional information and instructions, once you fill up the quick online application form.
International Students
If you are an international student interested in taking this program (On-Campus in Austria or Online from your home country), it is highly recommended that you fill up the Quick Online Application Form as soon as possible.

Choose Two Subjects (Major + Minor)
Already decided on a major Topic? Now it’s time to think about a Second Topic – Minor! To graduate on a second topic as Minor, you need to pass at least 50% of the courses. Because of the content overlaps, you may use the same courses or similar project works to fulfill the requirements in both a major and a minor, as long as you still pass 30% of the units in the minor that have a different course topic than your major.
The right Minor for you not only allows you to earn a second certificate and broaden your career, but it also increase your employ-ability and help you find more jobs after graduation.
How to choose a Minor?
The best Advise is to choose major based on your career goals and select a complementary minor mainly based on your interests.
The Minor adds value to your Major career path, complements it and shows the potential employers that you have multiple expertise in several fields. For example, you can major in Engineering and minor in Project Management or Entrepreneurship. So after graduation you are well qualified to apply for a Engineering Group Leader Position or Start your own Engineering Business.
Remember with a few more courses you can always turn your minor into your second major!
