What is the Computational Sciences Fachgruppe?
We plan regular meetings to take a break from studying together. So far, we've had movie nights, our annual barbecue, mulled wine nights, a quiz night, and best of all, the game nights where everyone brings games (board, card, computer games, or a Dungeons & Dragons campaign) and we play together.
We are part of the SKUBA, website:

Frequently asked questions
It is highly suggested to pursue a Masters' program. The University of Basel offers access to the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Master Program, if you have taken Compuational Biology. For the other specialization, it highly depends on the requirements of the possible Master. But, Computational Sciences students are recognized to have very highly skills in math which then grant you access to a broad range of Master.
Methods is the specialization most closed to Computer Science, which allows you to have a deeper understanding on how to apply your computational knowledge on to scientific problems.
Computer Science is pure informatics, while computational is informatics applied to natural sciences, on which the goal is resolving scientific questions by computational means. For example, predicting a structure of a protein based on only the amino acids sequence.
In the case, that you consider to pursue Computational Mathematics you have to take Analysis on the first year instead of Mathematical Methods and it is highly recommended to take Linear Algebra instead of chemistry. Otherwise, for the other specializations you can choose in the second year by deciding which courses you want to take.
