The program lasts two academic years (120 ECTS) and includes the Master Thesis as well as practical training in an industrial or applied research environment. The first term is aimed at providing a solid background on mechanics and numerical methods. It consists of a set of core modules (20 ECTS) completed by elective modules (10 ECTS). These core modules are taught jointly at UPC and UWS. Students can select to follow the first term either at UPC or UWS. The second term (30 ECTS) in the 2nd institution) consists of a minor aimed at providing a deeper knowledge in a selected area. The second term must be followed in a 2nd institution different from that selected for the first term. The Master Thesis is supervised and developed in the 2nd institution during the 3rd and 4th terms. Practical training at industry or an applied research centre will also be provided during these last two terms.
