We recommend taking MAT-MEK4270 – Numerical methods for partial differential equations the first term. If you do not have MEK2200 – Continuum Mechanics from before you should take MEK4020 – Viscous liquids and elastic materials in the course of your Master's study.
Courses
The choice of master courses depends on which specialization and Master's thesis you aim at, and is done in consultation with your contact person or your supervisor. Se list of master courses.

Master's thesis and advisor
Usually you find an appropriate Master's thesis and adviser by talking to the employees in the research group in Mechanics at the Department of Mathematics.
Department deadlines for the master's study
Honours certificate
Are you academically ambitious? It is possible to supplement your master's degree with an honours certificate worth 20 credits. You take the certificate concurrently with the master's programme.
Recognition of Master's courses from former education
If you are admitted to the Master's programme and you have completed Master's courses outside the University of Oslo, you may apply to have these courses recognised as part of your degree. Please contact the Department of Mathematics for more information.
Diploma and degree
This programme leads to the following degree: Master of Science in Fluid Mechanics
The diploma is issued when you have completed the courses that meet the requirements for a degree. Read more about diplomas.
