Part-Time Master’s Program in Simulation-Based Engineering

The registration and admissions process depend on the legal requirements of the respective university location. All key information can be found in the product description. We would also recommend an individual consultation with a program manager or that you attend a live webinar.

The online campus plays a key role in courses. But it is still important that you attend the university in person at times. This is organized in intensive blocks in order to minimize the impact and so that participants from some distance away can also travel to be there. Employers can plan for approx. 10 percent study time and 90 percent ongoing work on average.

This online offering helps you to prepare well for your course. Just some of the useful services included are: application checklists and tips, prior review of applicant documents, telephone call with the prospective applicant, intensive English course with certificate examination, mathematics refresher course, simulation software for download, and seminar tips for acquiring practical simulation experience. A personal contact from CADFEM esocaet will answer your particular questions before and during your studies.

There are probably very practical reasons why your supervisor might initially turn down your request, such as a long-term department budget. We recommend that you be flexible and have several options to offer when you look to discuss the matter. The arrangements put in place by our participants and their employers vary greatly. Sometimes it is easier to agree a higher wage bracket plus a performance bonus on graduation. Many employers are also prepared to grant paid study leave.
Alternatively, you may wish to apply for a student loan  or to an education fund. If you decide to self-fund, you can also benefit from an increased net salary by taking advantage of tax concessions. And, at the end of the day, you benefit after graduation from not having made any commitments and from being in a position to consider attractive (internal or external) vacancies.

Before you even apply, you can attend a trial course session and speak directly with participants to ask about their experiences. This will give you a lot of information to help with your decision and save you time. You can also chat with participants during an information evening. Furthermore, you might like to start with a certificate course first. We aim to give you such comprehensive advice before you start studying that you can feel confident about making your decision.

Given the course’s high level of expertise, participants also travel from Switzerland, northern Germany, Luxembourg and even Oslo in Norway, as the course is designed to accommodate this. Furthermore, it is also possible to combine it with the CAS in Computational Fluid Dynamics at Rapperswil UAS and take some of the lectures close to home there. Instead of simply copying the entire course, other universities work with CADFEM esocaet on offering additional course topics as well.

The international Master’s in Simulation-Based Engineering gives you the opportunity to acquire high-quality further training while still working. Unlike MBA programs, you gain scientific and practical specialist knowledge in numerical simulation and technical product development. On completing their studies, our master’s graduates are sought-after senior experts in computational/technical simulation as well as project managers and specialist managers in all areas of engineering. So, it depends on what you want to train to do.
