Description:

Understand, predict and control how mechanical systems work, through expertise in simulation and modeling. Modern engineering relies heavily on simulation and analysis to observe and understand mechanical systems, ultimately contributing to making them more efficient and more durable.

You will gain deep theoretical knowledge in computational methods, including finite element analysis, finite volume methods, and finite difference methods, combined with hands-on experience applying them to real engineering problems. There are also courses in machine learning and data-driven modelling, reflecting the growing importance of AI-based approaches alongside traditional simulation.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.

    To fulfil the general entry requirement for a master's programme at Chalmers (at advanced level/the second cycle), the prospective student must hold a degree that is equivalent to a Swedish Bachelor's degree (minimum 3 years, 180 Swedish higher education credits) in either Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Mechatronics Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Engineering Mathematics


    Prerequisites: Mathematics (at least 30 cr. including Linear algebra, Mathematical statistics or Probability theory, Numerical analysis, Multivariable Analysis), Finite element method (FEM) (including Numerical solution of partial differential equations), Strength of materials or Solid mechanics or Mechanics of Materials (including Structural mechanics (beams, trusses), Buckling or instability, Theory of elasticity in 3D, Stress concentrations and Plasticity), Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Engineering materials, Automatic control or Control theory or Control systems, Programming
