Master of Science in Fluid Mechanics
Explore fluid dynamics from ocean currents to biomedical applications with hands-on research and interdisciplinary training.
Best for:Best for students with a strong background in mathematics, physics, or engineering who seek to specialise in fluid dynamics with hands-on research experience and interdisciplinary exposure.
Overview
The Master of Science in Fluid Mechanics at the University of Oslo offers a rigorous programme blending theoretical mechanics, mathematics, and computational tools to study fluid behaviour in natural and engineered systems. Students engage in practical work—from developing mathematical models and programming simulations to conducting laboratory experiments and fieldwork—across two specialisations: Energy, Environment, and Safety, or Biomechanics and Medical Mechanics. The programme emphasises interdisciplinary collaboration, with opportunities for international exchange, including studies at the University Centre in Svalbard or abroad during thesis work. Graduates are well-prepared for careers in industry, academia, or further research, including PhD studies.
What you'll do
- Develop mathematical models and computational tools to simulate fluid behaviour in natural and industrial systems.
- Conduct laboratory experiments and fieldwork to validate theoretical and computational results.
- Apply programming and numerical analysis techniques to solve real-world fluid mechanics problems.
- Collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, integrating mechanics, mathematics, and informatics.
- Engage in independent research for a master’s thesis, addressing topics in energy, environment, safety, or biomechanics.
- Participate in international exchange programmes, including studies at the University Centre in Svalbard.
- Contribute to a vibrant student community with access to social and professional networking opportunities.
