HGS MathComp - Where Methods Meet Applications
The Heidelberg Graduate School of Mathematical and Computational Methods for the Sciences (HGS MathComp) at Heidelberg University is one of the leading graduate schools in Germany focusing on the complex topic of Scientific Computing. Located in a vibrant research environment, the school offers a structured interdisciplinary education for PhD students. The program supports students in pursuing innovative PhD projects with a strong application-oriented focus, ranging from mathematics, computer science, bio/life-sciences, physics, and chemical engineering sciences to cultural heritage. A strong focus is put on the mathematical and computational foundations: the theoretical underpinnings and computational abstraction and conception.
HGS MathComp Principal Investigators are leading experts in their fields, working on projects that combine mathematical and computational methodology with topical research issues. Individual mentoring for PhD candidates and career development programs ensure that graduates are fully equipped to take up top positions in industry and academia.

- What career opportunities await me in industry after completing my PhD?
- Which research topics are currently in high demand?
- What career paths have others with similar academic backgrounds pursued?
If so, we warmly invite you to join us for an engaging series of talks presented by alumni in industry.
The Fellow Speakers of HGS MathComp and the SIAM Student Chapter Heidelberg have invited several alumni from Heidelberg University to give talks about their current work at different companies. During the coffee break and the subsequent get-together, participants will have the opportunity to approach the speakers and ask them further questions about their careers.
