Master’s Degree Program Mechanics and Mathematical modeling

Get some insights into an international Master’s degree program ‘Mechanics and Mathematical modeling’ which is performed at the Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The program is aimed at preparing highly professional scientists and engineers with the background and practical experience in theoretical mechanics, computational mechanics, mathematical modeling and simulations, and distributed computing. Special focus is set on renewable energy, so the skills can be applied to reliability and strength analysis of such alternative energy sources as solar panels and wind power equipment, as well as power stations based geo- and hydrothermal energy, and ocean energy.
The concept of this program is to provide the students with a balanced combination of the fundamental knowledge and practical skills in mechanics to model phenomena in
physics, social sciences, biology, economy, etc. The graduates will have an opportunity to work in research institutes, centers and laboratories. They will be able to find employment at R&D and engineering departments of oil and gas, car-making, power and engineering, or aerospace industries among others. Special resources of SPbPU, the supercomputing center and digital fabrication laboratory ‘Fab Lab Polytech’ will be available for students.
