Simulation Technology, B.Sc.
Have you ever wondered how we know... how a space shuttle lands? how a drug spreads in the treatment of lung cancer? what happens inside a combustion chamber at 1200°C?
With Simulation Technology, such questions can be answered on a computer — safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively — often in situations where experiments would be too complex or even impossible. In simulations, individual conditions can be specifically modified, and outcomes can be reliably predicted. Whether in medicine, automotive engineering, or environmental technology, this method provides fascinating insights and is used in many fields of the future.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

Graduates mainly work in research and development departments of companies and engineering firms. Their ability to quickly familiarize themselves with new topics, understand complex methods, and apply knowledge to diverse problems makes them highly sought after — especially in areas where creative and innovative solutions to complex challenges are needed.

For example: whether it’s diaper design, pollutant dispersion in soil, or drug transport in the brain — all are based on similar physical principles (flow through porous media). Those who understand these principles can work flexibly across various fields.
In research and development, the focus is on:
- virtually validating new products,
- shortening development times,
- reducing the need for prototypes, and
- making informed decisions with social and economic relevance — despite high system complexity.
Typical industries include:
- Automotive industry
- Aerospace
- Chemical industry
- Medical technology
- Consumer goods industry
- Energy sector
- Rail transport

Requirements and application
| Previous education | My Skills Strong understanding of natural sciences and mathematics – essential for grasping complex problems Initiative and self-discipline – especially when choosing an individual area of specialization Teamwork and communication skills – important for successful collaboration in interdisciplinary projects Enthusiasm – helps to stay motivated and curious even when solving challenging problems My Interests Whether it’s about designing the optimal cuff shape for baby diapers or ensuring the safe storage of radioactive waste – in both cases, complex influences must be identified, evaluated, and translated into effective solutions. |

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
