COURSE OVERVIEW

This course is no longer an ERASMUS MUNDUS programme.

The MSc in Computational Mechanics is organised between Swansea University and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain) in cooperation with the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE, Spain).

You will receive deep multidisciplinary training in the application of the finite element method, as well as state-of-the-art numerical and computational techniques to solve and simulate challenging problems.

Your general knowledge of computational mechanics theory will be developed Â鶹ԭ´´ an appreciation of computational simulation in industry and academia.

Training is also provided in the development of new software for the improved simulation of current engineering problems.

YOUR COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS EXPERIENCE

You will follow a common set of core modules in your first year Â鶹ԭ´´ a transversal language module, leading to examinations in the first university chosen (Swansea or Barcelona).

An industrial placement taken during year one exposes you to the use of computational mechanics within an industrial context.

In the second year you move to the second university, depending upon your preferred specialisation, completing a series of modules and the research thesis. A variety of specialisation areas are available including fluids, structures, waves, etc with multiple applications in civil, mechanical, aerospace and biomedical engineering.

Incorporating modules from multiple universities allows you to experience postgraduate education in more than one European institution.
