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 alongside 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 alongside 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.
COMPUTATIONAL ENGINEERING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates of the MSc Computational Mechanics course at Swansea are positioned favourably for rewarding employment.
Our career support services include:
We also provide help and advice for Swansea University Alumni up to two years after you graduate.
The entry requirements for the MSc Computational Mechanics is a first or second class honours degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics or a similar relevant science discipline.
