Objectives & career opportunities

The Master's Degree in Numerical Methods in Engineering provides a multidisciplinary and in-depth training in the most popular calculation methods —called numerical—, such as finite elements and other similar numerical techniques. With a theoretical and applied teaching, the aim is to train specialists with the ability to immediately incorporate the acquired knowledge into the industry and with sufficient basic training to successfully face a doctoral degree.

The course addresses real educational needs in Europe and worldwide. Computational mechanics is set to become even more multidisciplinary than in the past, and it is expected that in the coming decade the demand for accurate and reliable numerical simulation of engineering systems will undergo explosive growth and have a major impact on our everyday lives. Graduates of this master's degree will be experts in numerical methods in engineering. They will be professionals able to put into practice the acquired knowledge directly to industry and they will also have the necessary scientific background to undertake a doctoral degree successfully.
