26-07-2019 MSc Double Degree Sapienza-Sorbonne

Starting in September 2018, Sapienza offers a two-year MSc Double Degree in Mechanical Engineering Curriculum: 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.

CompMech is developed in collaboration with Sorbonne Universités (Paris, France) (http://www.dalembert.upmc.fr/) 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 As a MSc Mechanical Engineering Curriculum, Computational Mechanics include two possible versions with or without double degree agreement with Sorbonne Universités:

  • Local version (without double-degree)

  • Double degree with Sorbonne Universités (max 6 places available)

The Double degree in partenship with Sorbonne Universités (Paris, France) includes each year a maximum of six (6) students from Sorbonne and six (6) students from La Sapienza. Upon successful completion of the Double Degree requirements (120 ECTS), two separate diplomas are conferred to the student according to the local regulations:

The degree from the Sorbonne Université: “Master Des Sciences Et Technologies, mention Sciences Pour L’ingénieur, Spécialité Computational Mechanics”.

The diploma from the Sapienza - University of Rome: “Laurea Magistrale” in Ingegneria Meccanica.

For the Italian students the program is organised as follow:

First semester (first year) in Rome
Second semester (first year) in Rome, with incoming Sorbonne students
Third semester (second year) in Paris with Sorbonne students
Fourth semester (second year) internship.

All courses will be taught in English.

 

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.

A detailed list of courses and credits is provided in the attached flyer.

 

APPLICATION
The selection process for the Double Degree candidates follow the usual standards of high level Master in Science. The program is strongly selective and only highly motivated students with excellent academic track records will be considered. For any inquire, send a mail to carlomassimo.casciola@uniroma1.itor to stefano.vidoli@uniroma1.it attaching your CV and academic track record. In any case Sapienza students must accomplish the Mechanical Engineering admission procedure called "Verifica dei Requisiti di Accesso" (https://corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it/it/corso/2019/27596/iscriversi)

Inscription fees are the usual in Italian public university. Italian and French gouvernement offers several kinds of scholarship to students needing financial supports (see e.g. Erasmus funding).

For the period 2018-2021 we have fundings from the Vinci Program of the Université Franco-Italienne for travelling and student exchanges.
