Learn how to problem-solve and optimise product design within a broad spectrum of different engineering applications. This master’s programme will give you an internationally competitive education in modelling, computational and experimental techniques in applied mechanics.
You will train how to solve solid, structural, and fluid mechanics problems in a broad spectrum of different application areas, gaining core competencies and preparing to become a key player for both large and small enterprises. You will also gain the skills required to work with the mechanical design of sustainable and competitive products — all while considering aspects like reliability, robustness, weight, and energy efficiency.
Applied mechanics master's programme at Chalmers
The importance of the programme is manifested by the role that simulation tools play in engineering practice today. The development of computers and algorithms will continue to increase the possibilities and accuracy of simulations as part of designing competitive, reliable and sustainable products.
The master’s programme in Applied mechanics at Chalmers will train you to solve solid, structural and fluid mechanics problems in a broad spectrum of different application areas. You will gain core competencies for becoming a key player for both large and small enterprises working with the mechanical design of sustainable and competitive products while considering aspects like reliability, robustness, weight as well as energy efficiency.
The teaching in the programme mainly consists of lectures, tutorial classes, computer classes and physical experiments. But the interconnection and collaboration with industry are significant which is manifested by guest lectures, study visits as well as tasks in the project course. Most of our students carry out their master thesis projects in the industry, but they can also be carried out at research groups at Chalmers or internationally.

General entry requirements
An applicant must either have a Bachelor's degree in Science/Engineering/Technology/Architecture or be enrolled in his/her last year of studies leading to such a degree.
Specific entryrequirements
Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) with the main field of study:
Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Automation and Mechatronics Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Engineering Mathematics or Chemical Engineering with Engineering Physics
Prerequisites:
Mathematics (at least 34 cr. including Linear Algebra, Multivariable Analysis, Numerical Analysis and Mathematical Statistics or Probability Theory)
Mechanics (including Statics and Dynamics)
Strength of Materials or Solid Mechanics (including Stress – Strain Relations, Torsion, Bending and Shear, Structural Mechanics, Trusses, Beams, Circular Cylinders and Discs, Buckling and Instability, Theory of Elasticity in 3D, Yield Criteria and Stress Concentrations)
Fluid Mechanics
Finite Element Method (FEM)
Programming
Thermodynamics
Engineering Materials
Regarding the prerequisite Finite Element Method, please note that applicants should have knowledge about its theoretical foundation. In addition, the applicant should be able to apply this knowledge to derive weak and FE formulations and implement these equations (in a programming language like Python) to perform Finite Element Analysis (for bars, beams, elastic and thermal problems). It is also beneficial if the applicant has some previous experience with using industrial Finite Element software, but this is not necessary.
