Education in Mechanics and Maritime Sciences

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.

The human brain, economic markets, our immune systems — even the formation of clouds. These are all examples of complex adaptive systems, formed from multiple interacting components, often nonlinear and dynamic, leading to a collective structure and organisation across multiple levels. With a truly interdisciplinary approach, encompassing several theoretical frameworks, this master’s programme will provide you with a broad and thorough introduction to the theory of complex adaptive systems and their application to the world around us.

Every day, freight trains, trucks, aeroplanes, and ships transport enormous quantities of raw material and manufactured goods around the world, while billions of people travel for work and leisure in the same manner. This master's programme will prepare you to meet the ever-changing demands in the critical industries of aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, marine technology, and railway technology, with the option to specialise in one in particular.

At Chalmers School of Maritime Studies, the maritime officers and maritime experts of the future are educated.

Graduate School Machine and Vehicle systems are both basic science and applied. As a doctoral student, you will learn technical problem solving through quantitative and qualitative thinking.

If you are interested to study scientific areas related to shipping, ranging from naval architecture and ocean engineering, climate and environmental impact, to maritime operations, on and below the water, you should apply to the graduate school Shipping and Marine Technology.

The scientific basis for doctoral studies in Solid and Structural Mechanics spans mechanics, strength of materials, and structural mechanics. Your research project may be of theoretical and/or applied nature.

In the graduate school of Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics, you as a doctoral student develop your knowledge both through theory and applications in the field.

​We deliver custom-designed mission training for business at both national and international level.
