Applied Mechanics is not one of the easiest study programmes, but it is the right choice for those who like a challenge. The atmosphere at the department, as well as the approach and support is great. Additionally, graduates of Applied Mechanics have a number of doors open in the field of development. You just have to put in the effort :)
