The international Master's program in Computational Engineering has been offered at the faculty since 2000 – with great and ever-increasing success and interest from prospective students from all over the world. Recently, there has been a change in the course director. On the occasion of his retirement, long-time course director Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Klaus Hackl, former chair of the 'Chair of Mechanics - Materials Theory,' handed over the course directorship to his successor, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Johanna Waimann. We are delighted to welcome her as the new "CompEng Head"!

With a focus on computational mechanics and numerical simulations, and a dedicated coordination team within the faculty, the international degree program plays a pioneering role both in terms of subject matter and organization. It serves as a model for other international degree programs – both within the faculty (e.g., Subsurface Engineering) and outside of it at RUB. The language of instruction is English.

Furthermore, CompEng has offered a two-year full-time program at the Vietnamese German University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, since 2009.
