Location of Ruhr University of Bochum
The traditional borders between mathematics, computer science, and engineering are being removed by the Master's programme "Computational Engineering" at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. This four semester programme in computer assisted methods and applications has up to 60 places for graduates with a degree in civil engineering or a related discipline. The aim of the course is to train engineers in reliable techniques for assessing the economy, security, and lifespan of building constructions, ecosystems, and building components. This programme is particularly attractive to foreign students as all courses are in English and the final thesis can also be written in English.
The practice-oriented interdisciplinary master programme imparts specialised knowledge concerning the application of computer simulations in a variety of engineering operations.
Numerical simulation methods and improved multi-media strategies play an ever more important role in engineering studies especially in view of the considerably increased performance of computers. Ultimately, it is a matter of dependable prognoses of the efficiency, security, and durability of building construction, ecosystems, and units in civil engineering and, consequently, it is also a matter of the computer-based optimisation of technical systems with regard to design and planning relevant criteria. The programme comprises topics from simulations in tunnelling, durability prognoses for buildings to numerical analyses of pollutant dispersal in the ground. In these respects, computer simulations are increasingly replacing empirical design methods and often very high-cost pilot projects or laboratory tests.

Requirements
To gain entrance to one of these programmes you need to have already completed a B.A./B.Sc. or equivalent. These programmes are partially or fully in English, so you must be able to demonstrate a high proficiency in English to gain admission. German language requirements are less than usual or not required at all. In some cases German language courses are offered as part of the programme.
Language requirements
The language of instruction is English. Therefore you need to proof that you have a sufficient knowledge of the English language.
To be accepted you should fulfil at least one of the following requirements:
completion of your previous study programme in English (this means that ALL your teachers spoke English during your lectures) TOEFL: minimum score paperbased 550, computerbased 215, internetbased 79; the TOEFL score must not be older than two years and sent officially from the Educational Testing Service (ETS); Institution Code: 3038 IELTS: minimum score 6.0; the score must be sent to us officially from the testing centre
Additional Requirements
| Minimal degree required: | Bachelor's degree |
| Minimal amount of work experience | Not specified |
Language Proficiency
| Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE): | Grade C (Score: 60) |
