Structural and Mechanical Engineering - Master

This programme offers two specialisations, structural engineering and mechanical engineering. These two specialisations share a common interest in the understanding of how materials and structures react to forces. This is reflected in common courses like mechanics, dynamics, and simulation methods. If your background is in civil engineering, the structural engineering specialisation will give you competence in the analysis, design, construction, and maintenance of civil and offshore structures. The learning outcomes provide core competences and skills to work with engineering aspects of buildings, bridges, offshore platforms, wind turbines and other structures. The mechanical engineering specialisation, will teach you the design and manufacturing of mechanical equipment. This includes CAD/CAM, additive manufacturing, welding, inspection, as well as fluid dynamics and materials science. This specialisation prepares you for working in a wide range of fields, such as production and manufacturing industries, renewable energy projects and offshore industries.
