The first semester gives a solid background in mechanics and programming, which is indispensable for the following semesters. In the second and third semester the students have to choose 4 mayor subjects in order to specialize in the fields of interest. The elective courses allow the students to gain a wide knowledge in different disciplines such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering or informatics. As most companies in Germany require at least basic language skills, the students also may select a German language course as elective course. The software lab is an interdisciplinary team project (3-6 students) which links the analysis and solution of engineering problems and

the development of software components. The fourth semester is dedicated to the master’s thesis. It can be written either at the chairs involved in Computational Mechanics

Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
. Barrier-Free
Education
As a graduate of the Master of Science Program in Computational Mechanics you have developed a portfolio of skills and competences in the field of numerical simulation, modeling of engineering problems for a consequent numerical simulation as well as a profound understanding of mechanical problems. You

during the modeling and evaluation process as well as the possible expansions of models. You develop and derive new ideas during your work for optimizing engineering processes and are able to assess a range of software tools. Furthermore, you are capable of applying and evaluating different programming principles, the underlying partial differential equations for various problems and the assumptions for material descriptions and low and high frequency analyses.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification? As a graduate with a M.Sc. in COME you are able to work in many different areas as you gain a deep understanding in mechanics, programming, modeling and simulation. You can start a career e.g. as software engineer or design, calculation and simulation engineer, respectively.
