Career opportunities

The specialization in mechanics provides good training in practical problem solving of important issues in technology and science. Emphasis is placed on basic physical understanding, and you learn how to develop and use modern IT tools to solve the phenomena being studied.

With this background, you have very good employment opportunities in a variety of high-tech engineering companies, oil companies, research institutes, IT companies, as well as in the administrative and educational sectors.

With a master's degree in mechanics you can be an expert on topics such as:

  • renewable energy such as wind, tidal and wave power,
  • subsea and underwater technology,
  • understanding of phenomena in medical and biological currents such as blood flow in the heart and veins,
  • elastic systems such as ice floes in Arctic waters or biological tissue,
  • ocean waves and tsunamis,
  • turbulent flows in engineering essential for the petroleum industry and for the development of microsystems engineering,
  • marine hydrodynamics
  • and much more.

For especially good candidates, further PhD studies in Mechanics are possible, as there are good scholarship opportunities.
