Master of Science in Computational Mechanics
An interdisciplinary Master's programme combining theoretical modelling, numerical methods, and experimental techniques for engineering applications.
Best for:Best for engineering graduates seeking to specialize in advanced numerical simulation and interdisciplinary computational modelling.
Overview
The Master of Science in Computational Mechanics at the University of Duisburg-Essen is an interdisciplinary programme that integrates theoretical modelling, numerical simulation, and experimental verification. Students gain a deep understanding of continuum mechanical models and computer-aided calculation methods, preparing them for complex problem-solving in fields ranging from civil and mechanical engineering to biomechanics. The curriculum is designed to equip graduates with both the theoretical foundation and the practical skills necessary to develop and apply modern computational systems. The programme is taught in a bilingual environment, with 50% of coursework delivered in English and 50% in German, fostering an international perspective.
