The Master of Science Programme, starting from the winter semester 2008/2009,
has a duration of four semesters. During the first semester, all
students take the same modules and courses and concentrate on the basics of mechanics, statics and dynamics,
numerical methods, discretization methods and software engineering.
All courses not only provide an extensive introduction but also a deep knowledge of the most
important areas in the field of Computational Mechanics of Materials and Structures.
During the second and third semesters, topics can be chosen from a large variety of courses. In order to
establish an international interaction further advanced topics are given in the summer school
by internationally recognized experts.
The fourth semester is dedicated to the thesis. It is embedded into current scientific activities of
the participating research groups.
After successful completion of the programme (120 ECTS credits), students are awarded a Master of
Science and will be entitled to continue to study towards a doctoral degree without having to meet
additional academic requirements. Special Ph.D. programmes in this field are offered at the
Universität Stuttgart. In the picture below the new strcture is schematically represented. In this picture LP is the german abbreviation for ECTS credits.
