- Additional information on beginning, duration and mode of study
- The regular beginning of the programme is annually in October (winter semester). Admission for the Master's programme is also possible for summer semester (April).
The lecture period in winter usually starts in October and ends in February. In summer, the lecture period usually starts in April and ends in July. During the winter semester, there is a break of around two weeks during the winter holidays.
The semester is scheduled to take place in person. However, there might be digital courses, particularly hybrid courses, offering e-learning opportunities.

- Description/content
- This course of study combines theoretical modelling, numerical methods and experimental applications in an interdisciplinary way. The focus is on a fundamental concept that enables reliable analysis of problems based on complex continuum mechanical models, numerical methods and experimental techniques. The areas of application range from civil and mechanical engineering to medicine (biomechanics) and biology (evolution simulations). With the increasing use of computer-aided strategies to solve practical problems, this area is becoming more and more important. The curriculum includes topics such as applied mechanics, materials science fundamentals and other engineering content. The aim of the course is to provide students with sound theoretical knowledge so that they can not only apply complex computer-aided calculation methods responsibly but also develop them further.
Graduates learn to recognise typical areas of application and limitations of computational models as well as to effectively use and further develop current computational systems. The focus is on the combination of theoretical modelling, experimental verification and simulation-based application. The course of study is ideal for engineers who want to expand their skills in modern, future-oriented technologies and work in an interdisciplinary manner in theory and practice.
