eScience is scientifi c research th<strong>at</strong> to a large extent depends on the use of computers and modern inform<strong>at</strong>ion technology, for<br />
example, we<strong>at</strong>her forecasting, seismic monitoring, protein structuring, gene mapping, and astrophysics.<br />
As computers have become larger and faster, eScience becomes increasingly important for all kinds of science, and therefore<br />
the Faculty of Science <strong>at</strong> the University of Copenhagen has decided to offer a new gradu<strong>at</strong>e degree in eScience.<br />
The eScience programme is for those students who through a Bachelor of Science degree (or similar engineering) degree have<br />
a solid found<strong>at</strong>ion in a specifi c scientifi c fi eld and who would like to use modern technology to cre<strong>at</strong>e new scientifi c insights.<br />
The programme is offered as an altern<strong>at</strong>ive to continuing in gradu<strong>at</strong>e study in the fi eld of your Bachelor´s. The idea is to mix<br />
the use of advanced inform<strong>at</strong>ion technology to your original fi eld of study so th<strong>at</strong> you, for example, can use advanced m<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ical<br />
models for simul<strong>at</strong>ion or to visualize large d<strong>at</strong>a sets.<br />
The new master’s degree is offered in collabor<strong>at</strong>ion with all the departments in the Faculty of Science.<br />
It will be based <strong>at</strong> the newly established eScience center.<br />
The degree programme is intern<strong>at</strong>ionally oriented and will be offered in English. A degree in eScience will open up<br />
many opportunities both within high tech industry and academia including exciting PhD opportunities; for examples,<br />
see www.escience.dk.<br />
Applic<strong>at</strong>ion deadline and admission requirements<br />
The new eScience programme will start autumn 2007 and the applic<strong>at</strong>ion deadline is<br />
Monday 11 June 2007.<br />
In general, the admission requirement is a Bachelor of Science th<strong>at</strong> includes certain<br />
m<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics and computer science courses, or a similar engineering degree. For details,<br />
consult www.escience.dk. If you have different qualifi c<strong>at</strong>ions, it may still be possible to<br />
enter the programme. It will also be possible to switch from another master’s programme<br />
to the new eScience programme.<br />
Further inform<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
During May and early June there will be a series of inform<strong>at</strong>ion meetings: for time and<br />
place, please refer to www.escience.dk or contact the Head of the eScience Programme,<br />
Professor Eric Jul, phone +45 35 32 14 14, eric@diku.dk, or the Study Advisor, Niels Peter<br />
Milthers, tlf. 35 32 42 22, n<strong>at</strong>-nsv@adm.ku.dk.<br />
The new eScience degree is one of many new degree programmes offered<br />
by the University of Copenhagen. Read more about similar programmes, for<br />
