Computational Engineering

Since then, the Master course has been providing to its students key-skills in engineering mechanics, mathematics and computer science required for innovatively designing and analysing high-tech engineering systems and materials. The Master programme “Computational Engineering” starts every winter term and takes four semesters (2 years) to complete. During the first three semesters, students attend several compulsory and elective courses (see curriculum). The 4th semester is dedicated to the Master thesis. In this context, students are free to either write their Master thesis in an academic environment at various university departments or in the industry while being supported by a lecturer of the Master programme. Due to the faculty's close connections to the industry, support can also be offered to students in finding a suitable company. When they have completed the programme, Ruhr-Universität awards the title "Master of Science (M.Sc.)" to the successful candidates.
