Master of Science in Structural and Mechanical Engineering
A two-year programme offering specialisations in structural and mechanical engineering with a focus on materials, forces, and advanced manufacturing.
Best for:Best for engineering graduates seeking specialised expertise in structural or mechanical engineering, with a focus on materials science, simulation, and advanced manufacturing techniques.
Overview
This Master of Science programme at the University of Stavanger offers two specialisations: structural engineering and mechanical engineering. Both focus on understanding how materials and structures respond to forces, with shared courses in mechanics, dynamics, and simulation methods. The structural engineering track equips graduates with expertise in designing, constructing, and maintaining civil and offshore structures like buildings, bridges, and wind turbines. The mechanical engineering track covers design, manufacturing, and advanced techniques such as CAD/CAM, additive manufacturing, and fluid dynamics, preparing students for careers in production, renewable energy, and offshore industries.
What you'll do
- Study core courses in mechanics, dynamics, and simulation methods applicable to both structural and mechanical engineering.
- Specialize in either structural engineering, focusing on analysis, design, and maintenance of civil and offshore structures.
- Specialize in mechanical engineering, covering design, manufacturing, and advanced techniques like CAD/CAM and additive manufacturing.
- Develop competences in working with engineering aspects of buildings, bridges, wind turbines, and other structures.
- Engage in practical projects related to production, manufacturing, renewable energy, and offshore industries.
- Apply knowledge of fluid dynamics, materials science, and welding to real-world engineering challenges.
