Course summary
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. Visit our website for more information on fees, scholarships, postgraduate loans and other funding options to study at Swansea University.
Modules
The first year of the MSc contains compulsory and optional 10-credit modules on subjects including continuum mechanics, advanced fluid mechanics, finite element computational analysis, computational plasticity, communication skills in a foreign language, a series of modules, and a 30-credit industrial project. Your second year also contains compulsory and optional 10-credit modules, as well as a compulsory 20-credit case study module and a 60-credit dissertation project module.
