Inter-University Master's Degree in Computational Fluid Dynamics - 8th edition

Admission

The master's degree is aimed at graduates in Engineering or related scientific fields with basic training in fluid mechanics and mathematics who wish to deepen their knowledge of the modelling and simulation of transport phenomena and their application through CFD.

It is recommended that students have:

• analytical and synthesis skills,
• interest in physical and mathematical modelling,
• capacity for autonomous learning,
• ability for systematic and rigorous work,
• familiarity with computer tools and basic programming knowledge,
• ability to follow studies in a virtual environment.

Motivation to understand the physical foundations of processes and willingness to apply them in industrial or research contexts are also valued.

To follow the Master's Degree in Computational Fluid Mechanics normally, it is necessary to have a computer capable of running numerical simulation applications and handling moderate data volumes. It does not need to be a laptop, but it is the student's responsibility to have suitable equipment. If students wish to take exams in person, they must use their own laptop, as assessments must be completed using this device.

Specific compulsory documentation 

The documentation required for pre-registration.

In addition to the general documentation required for pre‑enrolment, you may optionally submit:

• Proof of additional training related to the content of the master's programme (courses, seminars, other training activities and professional experience).
• Proof of placements lasting at least twelve weeks.
• Motivation letter addressed to the academic coordination and letters of recommendation.

Selection criteria

Students will be selected on the basis of the following criteria:

1. Suitability of the access qualification: up to a maximum of 30 points according to the following order of priority:
   • Graduates in engineering: up to a maximum of 30 points.
   • Graduates in the sciences: up to a maximum of 25 points.
   • Others: 0 points.
2. Evaluation of the academic transcript of the official university qualification that enables the student to access the master's degree and of the university or origin: up to a maximum of 40 points. Applicants who have studied at a foreign university must submit the declaration of equivalence of their grade point average in compliance with the procedure described at the Spanish Ministry of Education website.
3. Complementary training relating to the content of the master's degree (courses, seminars, other training activities, with supporting documents): up to a maximum of 10 points.
4. Others merits and achievements such as study visits (minimum 12 weeks, with supporting documents), motivation, letters of recommendation, personal interview: up to a maximum of 10 points.

However, if any places remain unfilled, the entity responsible for admissions may admit students without prioritising them according to their merits, provided, that is, that they meet the access requirements.
