  • Strong background in numerical methods and computational mechanics (FEM, CFD, …)
  • Basic programming skills (C++, Python)
  • Good English level

 

Duration: 4 years

How TO APPLY

DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED:

  • A personal CV (in English, free format)
  • Transcript of the marks of the Master Degree
