[Europe] MSc in Computational Mechanics by Erasmus Mundus Programme
MSc in Computational Mechanics by Erasmus Mundus Programme
The Master of Science in Computational Mechanics is designed for students who wish to develop their knowledge and competency in the field of computational mechanics with applications in solids, fluids and interdisciplinary fields. The goal is to provide the students with the skills for the modelling, formulation, analysis and implementation of simulation tools for advanced engineering problems, as well as skills for understanding these approaches in the broader context of engineering science. Students will benefit from a leading group of academics and an exciting international environment. Students may take the Master`s as a professional terminal degree, or in preparation for a Ph.D. degree.
Summary of study programme The programme lasts two academic years (120 ECTS) and includes the Master Thesis as well as practical training in an industrial or applied research environment. The first term is aimed at providing a solid background on mechanics and numerical methods. It consists of a set of core modules (20 ECTS) complemented by elective modules (10 ECTS). These core modules are taught jointly at UPC and UWS. Students can select to follow the first term either at UPC or UWS. The second term (30 ECTS) consists of a minor aimed at providing a deeper knowledge in a selected area. The second term must be followed in a 2nd institution different from the one selected for the first term. The Master Thesis is supervised and developed in the 2nd institution during the 3rd and 4th terms. Practical training at industry or an applied research centre will also be provided during these last two terms.
Mobility The students follow the Master`s programme at two of the four partner institutions: the first term at UPC or UWS, and the remaining three terms at UPC, UWS, ECN or US different from the institution attended during the first term.
Selection Criteria Students will be selected on the basis of their CVs, study and academic merits, recommendations, language skills (English), etc. Priority will be given to applicants whose background and interest matches closely with those of the Master of Science in Computational Mechanics. To check this, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to see the program description here.
Candidates will be required to provide: (a) the degree classification, class rank and full academic transcript; (b) the IELTS or similarly internationally recognised English language proficiency score; (c) two letters of recommendation; (d) a statement of purpose, describing their interest in computational mechanics, their personal aims in this field and their preferred areas of specialisation; (e) a complete Curriculum Vitae including additional language skills other than English and any additional information available that may relate to the potential performance of the student in the course.
This data as well as the standing of the University awarding their degree will be used to rank students.
Duration, Conditions and Amount of the Scholarship Scholarships will be awarded for two years. In each of these years, the student will receive a total of 21.000 Euro in 10 monthly grants per year, for a grand total of 42.000 Euro. Tuition fees are 8.000 Euro per year and will be deduced from the scholarship.
Note also that, if the scholarship is granted, no payments will be made until the grant recipient arrives at the host university. No payment advances will be sent abroad for covering travel and moving expenses.
Course 2010-2011 Deadlines (receiving date) for applications: - January 15, 2010 for students applying for an Erasmus Mundus Category A scholarship - May 7, 2010 for students applying for an Erasmus Mundus Category B scholarship - July 16, 2010 for EU students and students who do not wish to be considered for an Erasmus Mundus stipend. - starting September 27, 2010
Category A scholarships can be awarded to masters students selected by EMMC consortia who come from a country other than an eligible applicant country and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in one of these countries.
Category B scholarships can be awarded to any masters students selected by EMMC consortia and who do not fulfill the Category A criteria defined above.
