Depending on your educational background or depending on the focus, it is possible that the prerequisites / corequisites for the 1st year of the programme are presented in the block 2. You are therefore invited to read through the list of courses in block 2 even if you are registering for the first time in this master.
Within the framework of their Master in Mechanical Engineering, all students must follow or validate the 50 credits of joint training (including placement and final year dissertation), the 10 credits from the 'Computational Mechanics' list, the 30 credits from a choice of courses and the 30 credits from one of the three professional focuses.

Ideally, students studying for the master¿s degree will have acquired the competences and knowledge corresponding to the 40 credits of technical courses specific to the field of 'Mechanics', taught within the framework of the Bachelor in Civil Engineering.
