Overview
Computational simulation of structures (CSM), fluid dynamics (CFD) or multi-disciplinary systems has become essential in all areas of engineering. Today’s pace of design and innovation in industry is only possible with extensive use of these numerical methods. In academic engineering research, scientific computing plays an essential role and enables a level of understanding that is not reachable by experiments alone.
Successful Computational Engineers and Scientists need to have a solid knowledge of the engineering discipline they work in, but also of the modern numerical methods and the computational environments that are used. The MSc in Computational Engineering provides all these skills. You would join with good knowledge in at least one of these three areas, you would deepen that understanding and you would gain the required knowledge in the other areas.
You will be able to choose study modules that align with your background, your choice of specialisation area and your project topic. This programme will teach you advanced skills in computational modelling of structures and fluids. You will be introduced to programming and numerical algorithms, a particular strength of the course is its broad teaching of numerical optimisation, a topic of significant industrial interest. You will choose specialisation modules in one of Aerospace, Mechanical, Chemical or Energy engineering. A unique feature compared to other UK MSc programmes is the year-long project which counts for 50% of the course. Your project can use our high-performance computing clusters, where possible the topic will be defined in conjunction with an industrial co-supervisor.
Our academic staff are involved in internationally recognised research in a wide range of topics, including:
• Aerospace engineering
• Energy generation and conversion, including alternative and sustainable sources
• Heat transfer and fluid mechanics
• Control engineering
• Robotics

Course programme
Structure
The MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering includes 4 compulsory, and 3 optional taught modules, as shown on the structure below. The research project starts in Semester A, is conducted under close supervision throughout the year, and submitted in August.
Core modules
• Computational Engineering (Finite Element Method)
• Computational Fluid Dynamics
• Numerical Optimisation
• Research project
Optional modules include
• Scientific Computing
• Vehicular Crashworthiness
• Advanced Aerodynamics,
• Advanced Flight Control
• Advanced Combustion in Automotive Engines
• Advanced Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics
• Renewable Energy Sources
• Robotics
• Advanced Gas turbines
Research Project
A major part of the MSc is your research project which counts for 50% of this MSc. It is an individual project integrated with the research taking place in SEMS which is internationally-recognised as world-leading. You will have access to QMUL’s large high-perfomance cluster and QMUL’s very effective computing research support team. Research topics are formulated in discussion with SEMS’ Industrial Advisory Board . Where possible, projects are co-supervised by an industrial partner. Embedded in the project module are taught components such as critical thinking, project management and report writing.
