Program Overview

Master of Science (MSc) in Mechanical Engineering

The MSc programme in Mechanical Engineering is aimed at students who want to participate in the development of new and better solutions based on the laws of mechanics.

Study Programme

Engineers with competencies in construction and mechanical engineering are involved in the development of new and better solutions for products, mechanical components, production equipment, and industrial installations. The focus of the solutions may range from microstructuressuch as parts for hearing aids or mobile phonesto engines, turbines, wind turbines, ships, and offshore structures.

The MSc programme in Mechanical Engineering and the related disciplines cover systematic engineering design methods within engineering design and product development as well as analysis, numerical simulation, and optimization with focus on the strength of structures, fluid flows, and energy conversion. The study programme allows you to apply systematic engineering design methods and advanced mathematical models.

Applied mechanics is used in many contexts requiring extensive knowledge of physical principles, strength of structures, fluid flows, and energy conversion. The teaching includes lectures, individual work, and class exercises in group meeting rooms, databars, and laboratories.

The final MSc thesis is related to the programme disciplines and is written in collaboration with an active research group or carried out as a project in collaboration with one of our business partners.

Specializations

The MSc in Mechanical Engineering offers a high degree of flexibility in the students' individual study plan. You can design your own study programme and career by choosing from the wide range of courses offered. Alternatively, you can choose to follow a specialization:

• Engineering Design and Product Development
• Strength and Dynamics of Structures
• Industrial Fluid Mechanics
• Energy Engineering
• Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering

Joint International Programmes

This study programme gives you the opportunity to enroll in a joint international master's programme and gain a unique specialization:

• Mechanical Engineering (KAIST)

Career

Most Mechanical Engineering graduates are employed in development and research departments of industrial companies manufacturing high-tech products, in firms of consulting engineers, or in research institutions.

Programme Structure

The MSc is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

Industry Master of Science

This programme is also available as an industry master's programme, combining part-time study with a part-time job - an opportunity to apply your academic knowledge in real-world settings and build a strong foundation for your future career.
