Joint Master's Programme in Computational Mechanics

Background

The Joint Master's programme in Computational Mechanics welcomed its first students in 2007, under the Erasmus Mundus label of excellence. The progamme was extended in 2014 for a further 5 years under the same terms.

The last intake of students having graduated in 2019, the Master's degree no longer receives European funding. Centrale Nantes and the Universitat Politecnicà de Catalunya (UPC) signed a double-degree agreement in 2020 to enable the programme to continue.

This means that students who wish to pursue a double degree can complete one year in France and one year in Spain.

Consortium Partners

The Universitat Politecnicà de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona and Centrale Nantes are the two institutions taking part in this double degree programme.

Graduates of the programme are awarded:
