About this programme

The Computational Mechanics of Materials and Structure (COMMAS) MSc programme addresses the development and implementation of numerical methods and simulation techniques to deal with complex engineering problems. Students learn different practical and powerful approaches to model, understand, predict and validate responses of materials and structures encountered in almost all engineering disciplines. One of the unique characteristics of COMMAS is that it is an interdisciplinary programme, with a close cooperation between the faculties of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering. The programme has strong collaborations with local and international research centres as well as industrial partners. Graduates of this programme can apply their knowledge to almost all engineering problems. Examples include simulating automobile crash tests, predicting the failure load of materials, modelling biological tissues, developing functional materials to be used in robotics, and more. Since COMMAS is a strongly research-oriented programme, the graduates are also ideally prepared for careers at universities, laboratories and research centres.
