Some of the topics covered are, elasticity of homogeneous solids, membranes, surface tension, Navier--Stokes equation and its elementary applications. The course is examined by a final written examination, and continual assessment through hand-in assignments. To follow your passion. To be close to international career opportunities. To explore city and countryside. In Stockholm you can really get the best of both worlds. Here we explain all the different steps you need to go through when applying to a course or programme.
