Computational Engineering, MSc / PGDip

COURSE OVERVIEW

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.

Students will also achieve PgDip exit award during this course.

YOUR COMPUTATIONAL ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Over the course you will use mathematical modelling and computational methods to solve complex problems.

You will learn techniques that play an increasingly instrumental role in industry and understand how methodology can be applied to fields such as medicine and the life sciences.

Your studies will be based at the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering, which has excellent computing facilities including a state-of-the-art multi-processor supercomputer, with virtual reality facilities and high-speed networking.

COMPUTATIONAL ENGINEERING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Graduates of the Computational Engineering MSc are well placed for rewarding specialist opportunities.

Our career support services include:
