Computational Mechanical Engineering (MSc)

The Master's programme in Computational Mechanical Engineering at Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm offers students an in-depth exploration of advanced computational methods in the field of mechanical engineering. The curriculum is designed to foster both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through a combination of lectures, workshops, and hands-on projects. During the three-semester programme, students will engage with topics such as finite element analysis, fluid dynamics, and computational mechanics, equipping them with the capabilities to solve complex engineering problems.

Structure-wise, this Master’s degree consists of various modules designed to accumulate a total of ECTS credits, culminating in a thesis that displays students' proficient understanding of computational applications in engineering contexts. One of the highlights of a University of Applied Sciences degree is the opportunity for practical experience, allowing students to undertake internships or industry projects during their studies. This focus on real-world applications ensures that graduates are not only familiar with concepts but can also apply them in a practical environment.

The skills nurtured throughout the programme include analytical thinking, problem-solving, and proficiency in computer-aided engineering tools. These competencies are essential for adapting to the rapidly changing landscape of technology and engineering. The combination of coursework, project work, and the thesis prepares students for a range of careers in the engineering sector, making it an ideal program for those looking to advance their expertise while benefiting from practical, hands-on learning experiences.

The programme is suitable for individuals who possess a background in engineering or related fields and are eager to specialize in computational techniques. It also appeals to international students looking to enhance their career prospects, as they can take advantage of Germany’s 18-month post-study job-seeking permit and the opportunity to work while studying. Connections to industry, particularly in Nuremberg's robust Mittelstand, provide valuable networking prospects that can lead to future employment.
