Computational Mechanics track
Since 2017, Sorbonne Université offers a two-year Master program in Computational Mechanics focused on modelling and numerical simulation of fluids and solids.
Computational Mechanics (CompMech) program covers fundamental and advanced topics on solid and structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, and their interactions. CompMech provides a balanced and deep coverage of theoretical aspects and modern computational methods for the macroscopic modelling, analysis, and design of complex systems including fluids, solids, and soft matter. Applications will range from biological and medical engineering, to civil and mechanical engineering, passing through nuclear and new energies engineering.
Organization
CompMech is developed in a close collaboration with the Italian University La Sapienza (Rome, Italy) (http://dima.uniroma1.it/dima/en) and the MOX department of Politecnico di Milano (Milano, Italy) (mox.polimi.it) and has the ambition to attract highly motivated students and to provide high-level training on continuum and computational mechanics in an international environment.
The Master in Computational Mechanics include three possible versions with or without double degree agreement with Italian Universities.
- Local version (without double-degree)
- Double degree with La Sapienza - Ingegneria Meccanica (max 6 places available)
- Double degree with PoliMi - Ingegneria Mathematica (max 2 places available)

Master outcomes
The students will evolve in a stimulating international environment. At the end of the Master, graduates will be able to evolve in English-speaking research and engineering teams of international level. They will be able to analyse scientific papers in the general area of continuous mechanics, to evaluate the relevance of the various approximations needed to solve a problem, to implement efficient numerical discretisation and solution techniques using modern open-source software for High Performance Computing, and to use them to solve complex problems in fluid and solid mechanics.
