The program 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) completed
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) in the 2nd institution) 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 that
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.
