Clear answers about prerequisites, language level, evaluation, workload, payment options and credit recognition for the Multiphysics Modeling School academic programs.
Open each question to review the details. The information is kept close to the original admissions content, but presented in a cleaner format.
Provided that in your previous studies you have taken fundamental or advanced subjects in some scientific-technical subjects, such as those related to mathematics, physics, chemistry or engineering (thermodynamics, fluids, mechanics, electromagnetism, heat transfer, chemical reactions, transport phenomena, etc.), these academic programs will be easy for you to take because we will begin by explaining all the subjects from the very basics.
You have to be able to understand the online classes, interact with the professor, read the material and write solutions to the exercises and the master’s thesis. Therefore, it is desirable to have at least an intermediate level of English.
No. The evaluation process is carried out through homework assignments.
The workload is compatible with your university studies or your usual professional activities. An average of 4 or 5 hours per week of online classes will be scheduled, distributed from Monday to Friday. All online classes will be recorded and will be available for later viewing in case you are unable to attend live. Another 3 or 4 hours per week are estimated for studying and practicing the contents, and handing in the exercises.
There are no scholarships for these academic programs, except for those grants that can be obtained from external institutions managed by the student. However, there is the possibility of paying the tuition fee in two different installments.
Yes. Fundamentals, each specialization and the Advanced course can be taken as standalone university microcredentials. The final 20 ECTS master’s block is reserved for students completing the approved master’s pathway.
The pathway consists of Fundamentals of Modeling (10 ECTS), one specialization course (15 ECTS), Advanced Modeling, Automation & Optimization (15 ECTS), Mathematical Foundations (5 ECTS) and the Master’s Thesis (15 ECTS), for a total of 60 ECTS.
Previous COMSOL Multiphysics experience is strongly recommended. Students should ideally have completed Fundamentals of Modeling or have equivalent practical knowledge of model creation, studies, solvers and post-processing.
Yes. Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, or have no more than 30 ECTS remaining to complete their bachelor’s degree, subject to the University of Málaga’s admission requirements.
No. The final block consists of Mathematical Foundations and the Master’s Thesis, but the degree is awarded only after completing or formally recognizing all 60 ECTS of the approved pathway.
No. Access to COMSOL Multiphysics through the University of Málaga academic license is included for the educational activities covered by the course.
After successfully completing the required assignments, students receive the corresponding university microcredential or academic certification, including the number of ECTS indicated on the course page.
Students may propose a topic related to their academic, research or professional interests. The proposal is reviewed to ensure that it meets the academic requirements, and a suitable supervisor is assigned according to the project’s subject area.
Yes. The thesis may address a real industrial, professional or research challenge, provided that it includes a substantial COMSOL Multiphysics modeling component and meets the academic requirements of the program.
Yes. Students may enroll independently in one or more specialization courses without completing Fundamentals, Advanced or the full Master’s Degree. Each specialization is a standalone 15 ECTS university microcredential.
Yes. Students may complete as many specialization courses as they wish to broaden their knowledge across different application areas. Only one approved specialization is required for the 60 ECTS Master’s Degree pathway; additional specializations are optional.
