Double Degree Program “Computational Engineering” (Erlangen, Stockholm)
Starting the winter semester 2008/2009, students of Computational Engineering can obtain a double Master’s degree from FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg and Kungl. Tekniska Hoegskolan, Stockholm, Sweden. According to the agreement between the universities, both universities will award the candidate a master’s degree, giving the graduates an important extra qualification for the international job market.
The first year program at the home university covers advanced basics of Computational Engineering, and the second year at the guest university is devoted to depth in a choice of specializations, and to the writing of the Master’s thesis. The programs at KTH and FAU are international and the instructional language is English. The DAAD academic mobility funding agency supports the double degree program with travel grants and scholarships for participating students.
The double degree can also be combined with participation in the Bavarian Graduate School in Computational Engineering (BGCE). The first BGCE students have started their stay in Stockholm for winter term 08/09, already.
