About the programme
Computational Methods in Mechanical Engineering is a German-taught Master of Science (M.Sc.) at HAW Hamburg on the Berliner Tor campus. It takes 3 semesters full-time (part-time status is possible), with starts in winter and summer. You build your own curriculum from elective catalogues, mostly on numerical methods: the finite element method, computational fluid dynamics, multibody simulation, engineering physics and fluid-structure interaction. Further modules extend physics, solid and fluid mechanics and materials theory, link to mechatronics through control engineering and sensor technology. You apply what you learn in a research-centred project at HAW Hamburg or in industry, which becomes your Master's thesis. It suits graduates in mechanical, automotive or aeronautical engineering with strong maths, physics and mechanics. Requirements include a 210-credit degree and English at B1. With a 180-credit Bachelor's you must make up 30 more credits to enrol fully. International applicants also need German at C1.

Prerequisites
Essential:
- A Bachelor’s degree, worth 210 credit points, in mechanical engineering or production technology and management or in a discipline related to either of these
- OR a _Diplom_ degree (or non-German equivalent) in mechanical engineering or production technology and management or in a discipline related to either of these
- Diploma Supplement/Transcript of Records
- If the certificate from the applicant’s first degree is not yet available due to outstanding results from individual exams and it is expected, based on the study progress and particularly the exam results to date, that the degree will be completed before the end of the first semester of the Master’s degree course, an application for admission can be submitted. A letter from the university where the first degree is being completed which lists the completed and outstanding exams, as well as an average grade, must be submitted. In this case, admission is provisional and subject to submission of proof of graduation by the last day of the first semester of study.
- Proof of proficiency in English at level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (as stipulated in section 7, paragraph 1 of the General Admissions Regulations [HAWAZO] (opens in a new tab))
- International applicants are required to demonstrate proficiency in the German language at level C1 (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) or above via a recognised language test, which should be one of the following: Goethe Institute C1, TestDaF 4, telc C1 Hochschule, DSH2, _Deutsches Sprachdiplom_ issued by the KMK (_Kultusministerkonferenz_), or _Kleines_ or _Großes Sprachdiplom_ issued by the Goethe Institute.
Submitting additional documents increases your chances of being selected:
- Letter of motivation
- CV
- Documentation of any previous relevant professional/work experience (e.g. written reference from your employer)
- A letter of recommendation
N.B.: Applicants whose Bachelor’s degrees are equivalent to 180 credit points are required to attain a further 30 credit points in order to enrol fully in this Master’s degree course. The Examinations Committee will determine which courses and examinations you will be required to undertake. If this applies to you and your application is successful, your enrolment will be provisional subject to demonstrable attainment of the required additional 30 credit points.
