ACCESS seeks to facilitate the development of a strong knowledge base in the field of computational mechanics and structural analysis, working collaboratively with advanced civil engineering design.
Technical innovations for challenging engineering tasks rely heavily on numerical simulation tools. Therefore, the goal of the programme is to provide the skills for understanding, modelling and analysis of these approaches in the broader context of application and design by focusing on:
- state-of-the-art computational mechanics
- current numerical structural analysis
- research in structural modelling and analysis
- current developments in civil engineering design
- advanced construction methods
Engineers with a strong computational background are in high demand in international companies, consultant agencies, engineering offices, construction enterprises and research.
Contents
The course is divided into two parts: The first part lasts three semesters, totalling 90 credit points. It consists of eight obligatory modules, including the project work with the project seminar, and seven modules selected out of 10 elective modules. The second part of the Master's programme consists of producing a Master's thesis including a colloquium in the fourth semester. For the Master's thesis including colloquium, 30 credit points are granted.
