In the first year of the Erasmus Mundus MSc Computational Mechanics course, you will follow an agreed common set of core modules leading to common examinations in Swansea or Barcelona. In addition, an industrial placement will take place during this year, where you will have the opportunity to be exposed to the use of computational mechanics within an industrial context. For the second year of the Erasmus Mundus MSc Computational Mechanics, you will move to one of the other Universities, depending upon your preferred specialisation, to complete a series of taught modules and the research thesis. There will be a wide choice of specialisation areas (i.e. fluids, structures, aerospace, biomedical) by incorporating modules from the four Universities. This allows you to experience postgraduate education in more than one European institution.
Modules on the Erasmus Mundus MSc Computational Mechanics course can vary each year but you could expect to study the following core modules (together with elective modules):
Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations
Finite Element Method
Continuum Mechanics
Computational Solid Mechanics
Finite Element in Fluids
Computational Structural Mechanics and Dynamics
Computational Wave Propagation
Extended Finite Element Method and Level Set Techniques
Multi-Scale Structural Analysis
Materials Modelling for Numerical Simulations
Numerical Techniques for Partial Differential Equations in Fluids
Research Project Plan
MSc Thesis
Practical Training
