Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS) is a goverment institution
affiliated with November 7th University at Carthage which is under the auspices of
the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and
Technology. TPS is one of the leading engineering schools in Tunisia. TPS
was founded by virtue of the Act No. 91/42 dated June 26th, 1991
and enrolled its first class in September 1994. TPS has offered a five-year
engineering diplomas through a high-quality educational program. TPS
graduates are employed by Tunisian and foreign companies and others pursue
advanced degrees in European and North American universities.
Building on its proven record in education, Tunisia Polytechnic
School launched an
International Master of Science Program in Computational Mechanics starting
the Fall of 2003 with a duration of 16 months. For the academic year 2009/2010,
classes will begin on September 1st, 2009. This is the first
graduate degree in Engineering to be offered in English in Tunisia. The
program of study leading to this degree is set up in collaboration with the
Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) at Virginia Tech
(USA) with financial support from the U.S. State Department. The emphasis
of the program is on the application of advanced computational methods and
experimental techniques in the areas of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics,
dynamics and control, and biomechanics. The coursework will be taught by
faculty members from TPS in addition to professors from selected European
and North American universities. Admission is open to Tunisian as well as
International Students on a competitive basis. The cost of study is free of
charge except for a modest registration fee paid after admission to the
graduate program. Potential graduates of this program can continue for a
Ph.D. degree in Applied Mechanics at Tunisia Polytechnic
School.
