MA/MS in Computational Engineering

Computational Engineering is an English-taught Master of Science at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. It lasts four semesters and starts in the winter semester, in a multicultural and highly qualified environment. The programme explains why numerical mathematics, computer simulation and detailed knowledge of materials matter, even for spaceflight, and what role simulations play in developing cars, aircraft and machine tools and in medicine, environmental protection, building design and alternative energy. It introduces the finite element method and the mathematical, engineering and computer-science foundations that simulation needs. Admission is open (zulassungsfrei), and applicants apply through the faculty. Further details on enrolment are available separately for German and international applicants, and the semester contribution is explained on a dedicated university page. Students can turn to the study advisory service of the department with questions about content and admission.
