About the programme

The M.Sc. Computational Mechanics at the University of Duisburg-Essen is a four-semester, two-year programme worth 120 credits on the Essen and Duisburg campuses, taught half in German and half in English, with a start in the winter or summer semester. It combines theoretical modelling, numerical methods and experimental applications in an interdisciplinary way, enabling reliable analysis of problems based on complex continuum mechanical models. Applications range from civil and mechanical engineering to medicine, through biomechanics, and biology, through evolution simulations. The curriculum includes applied mechanics, materials science fundamentals and other engineering content. The aim is sound theoretical knowledge so that you can not only apply complex computer-aided calculation methods responsibly but also develop them further, and learn the typical uses and limits of computational models. The programme suits engineers who want to work across theory and practice.
