About this programme

Since our students come from various technical backgrounds, the first semester is comprised of mandatory subjects devoted to the study of fundamental topics in the different disciplines Structural Mechanics and Analysis, Fluid Mechanics, Computational Mechanics and Computation in Engineering. Furthermore, you will receive a tailored introduction to C++ in an onboarding week. During the second and third semesters, you can choose from a variety of elective courses and thus build an individual specialisation. You can also build your individual skill set and follow your career goals by including up to 12 ECTS from various courses at TUM. Furthermore, during the second and third semesters, you will work on a software project in our Software Lab module. This interdisciplinary project is organised in small groups and is designed to give you hands-on experience in transferring your theoretical and methodological knowledge into a software implementation. The fourth semester is devoted to your Master’s thesis, which is worth 30 ECTS and finalises your studies at TUM.
