Curriculum & duration

With a strong focus on scientifically based application, the curriculum offers an interdisciplinary approach towards CAE topics and takes management issues and soft skills into consideration. A variety of optional subjects deals with the "hot topics" of Computer Aided Engineering and will be offered on demand.

Course structure

Short attendance times

The master’s degree program begins every year in September and runs for two years. Lectures are organized in concentrated blocks (please refer to our brochure for times). Additionally, considerable self-study is necessary. The 4th semester is dedicated to writing a thesis which, in most cases, deals with a topic pertinent to a student’s company. The study structure does, however, makes sure that students have short periods of attendance at university.

Accreditation ensures best quality

The Master of Engineering in Applied Computational Mechanics has been accredited by the German Accreditation Agency ASIIN in order to secure and maintain high standards.

By receiving the official seal of approval of the German Accreditation Council, the master's degree program Applied Computational Mechanics has been attested excellent study quality. A peer review carried out by independent auditors and co-ordinated by the German accreditation agency ASIIN (Member of ENAEE) confirmed the well-balanced and practice-oriented curriculum to provide its graduates with excellent perspectives. Offered as a continuing education program by the Universities of Applied Sciences Ingolstadt and Landshut, the program especially profits from strong contacts to the industry. Additionally, a public private partnership with CADFEM GmbH ensures a practice-oriented approach towards simulation topics.
