Overview

The University of Skövde's Computational Methods in Engineering programme focuses on educating you in the formulation, analysis, implementation and application of multiple computational approaches for realisation of innovative engineering solutions. The curriculum is interdisciplinary and well-designed for you to overcome challenges of the future.

About the programme

Along with industry digitalisation, increasing technologies and computerised tools are developed to establish virtual mirror images of physical entities so that they are able to be applied for investigating the behaviours of their physical counterparts under various working conditions through simulations. A physical entity could be a structure, a component, a product, a process or even a system. Its virtual mirror image is called a model or a digital twin as long as the bidirectional communication between them is enabled. As a result, a significant amount of time and cost are exempted from creating the physical prototypes and conducting massive physical experiments. Accordingly heavy demands on high fidelity modelling and simulations emerge from the modern industry which is characterised by complex engineered and scientific systems.

Benefitting from the advancement of sensors, computational science and high-performance computing equipment, the modelling and simulation techniques are flourishing in terms of analytical, geometrical, multi-physics and data-driven manners. Combining with other techniques such as optimisation techniques and data analysis techniques, the physical entities of interest could be explored in a more comprehensive way than ever before. This programme will provide you with a solid foundation in multiple computational methods for the design, analyse, operation and maintenance of complex engineered and scientific systems.

Career

This programme will equip you with the skills required for a successful career in industrial environments within various fields of engineering. The focus on modelling and simulation are key knowledges demanded by many industries R&D developments. The curriculum is also highly research-orientated and prepares graduates for a Ph.D. programme and a career in academia. Since the programme is conduct in English, the graduates are qualified for the international market.

Other requirements

General requirements

A Bachelor’s degree equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen of 180 credits, with a major within mechanical engineering or production engineering (or the equivalent).
Additionally, courses of at least 7.5 credits in Strength of Materials (or equivalent) and 7.5 credits in the Finite Element Method (or equivalent) are required.
A further requirement is proof of skills in English equivalent of studies at upper secondary level in Sweden, known as the Swedish course English 6.

This is normally demonstrated by means of an internationally recognized language test, e.g. IELTS or TOEFL.
