MSc Computational Engineering

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time, 2 or 3 years part-time

Course Description

The MSc Computational Engineering benefits from the position of Swansea University at the forefront of international research in computational engineering.

This course harnesses the expertise of academic staff to provide you with world class postgraduate training.

Our globally renowned engineers pioneer the development of numerical techniques such as the finite element method, as well as computational procedures that help to solve complex engineering problems.

You will gain a practical understanding of computer modelling, and how it plays a critical role in engineering, science and emerging areas of interdisciplinary research.

Accredited by the JBM, this MSc also gives a comprehensive foundation in the finite element method in engineering mechanics.

WHY COMPUTATIONAL ENGINEERING AT SWANSEA?

Built on our world-leading research capacity in computational engineering, this course has a unique strength in computer modelling and its application in industry.

Did you know?

Professor Olek Zienkiewicz, internationally recognised as the “Father of the Finite Element Method“, joined Swansea University in 1961 as Head of the Department of Civil Engineering, and was Emeritus Professor of the University until his death in 2009. During his career, he supervised over 70 PhD students, many of whom now hold leading positions in academia and industry. He also founded the first journal dealing with computational mechanics in 1968 (International Journal of Numerical Methods in Engineering), still the major journal in the field of Numerical Computations.
