Students in the Computational Materials Engineering with AI programme are at the forefront of the AI revolution. You will learn how to use artificial intelligence and computer simulation to help shape the future as an engineer. If you are interested in areas like machine learning and programming but also science and engineering, this degree programme will offer you a perfect and application-oriented combination of those interests.

The curriculum of the programme focuses on simulation and virtual modelling of material and product characteristics and production processes. You will learn, for example, how materials are selected and designed for specific purposes and how their load can be analysed or how manufacturing processes can be optimised with the help of AI. The technologies covered in the programme can also play a significant role in conserving resources during product development and manufacturing, for example, by eliminating the need for resource-intensive testing.  

Explore how AI and simulation can be used to develop innovative, sustainable, and future-ready materials, enable intelligent manufacturing, and create virtual prototypes. Become a part of a generation of highly qualified AI users and shape the world of tomorrow - today.
