The Master of Science in Computational Mechanics is designed for students who wish to develop their knowledge and competency in the field of computational mechanics with applications in solids, fluids and interdisciplinary fields. The goal is to provide the students with the skills for the modelling, formulation, analysis and implementation of simulation tools for advanced engineering problems, as well as skills for understanding these approaches in the broader context of engineering science. Students will benefit from a leading group of academics and an exciting international environment. Students may take the Master's as a professional terminal degree, or in preparation for a Ph.D. degree.

Summary of study programme
The programme lasts two academic years (120 ECTS) and includes the Master Thesis as well as practical training in an industrial or applied research environment. The first term is aimed at providing a solid background on mechanics and numerical methods. It consists of a set of core modules (20 ECTS) complemented by elective modules (10 ECTS). These core modules are taught jointly at UPC and UWS. Students can select to follow the first term either at UPC or UWS. The second term (30 ECTS) consists of a minor aimed at providing a deeper knowledge in a selected area. The second term must be followed in a 2nd institution different from the one selected for the first term. The Master Thesis is supervised and developed in the 2nd institution during the 3rd and 4th terms. Practical training at industry or an applied research centre will also be provided during these last two terms.

Mobility
The students follow the Master's programme at two of the four partner institutions: the first term at UPC or UWS, and the remaining three terms at UPC, UWS, ECN or US different from the institution attended during the first term.
