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. Show less

The master's programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. During each year, students can earn 60 credits (ECTS) and complete the programme by accumulating a total of 120 credits. Credits are earned by completing courses where each course is usually 7.5 credits. The programme consists of compulsory courses and elective courses.​

Compulsory courses year 1
Applied mechanics starts with two compulsory courses: Mechanics of fluids and Mechanics of solids. The purpose of these courses is to provide a common foundation of mathematical modelling and simulations in solid and fluid mechanics. The third compulsory course is Project in applied mechanics where you can select among topics and work together in a team. In this course, you will gain skills in project work, including communication, teamwork and project management. The Chalmers formula student project is an alternative option to the Project in applied mechanics.

Compulsory courses year 2
In the second year, you must complete a master's thesis in order to graduate. The thesis may be worth 30 credits or 60 credits depending on your choice.​

Master’s thesis
Elective courses
Besides the compulsory courses, you will need to select at least five out of the elective courses within the programme. These courses are organized in the profiles: Computational solid mechanics, Structural dynamics and Fluid dynamics. You will also have the possibility to select courses outside of your programme plan and design your own profile depending on the combination of courses you select.​
