FindAMasters summary

The CDT MPhil + PhD in Computational Methods for Materials Science is a four-year Doctoral Training Programme designed to equip scientists with the skills needed for material modelling. It provides comprehensive training in computational and mathematical techniques, allowing students to develop new methods and software tools for materials research. The programme begins with a research and taught MPhil course in Scientific Computing, followed by a three-year PhD research project. Key learning outcomes include a deep understanding of numerical methods, critical evaluation skills, and the ability to generate new knowledge through original research. Entry requirements include a UK High II.i Honours Degree or equivalent.

About the course

This four-year Doctoral Training Programme on computational methods for material modelling aims to train scientists not only in the use of existing modelling methods but also in the underlying computational and mathematical techniques. This will allow students to develop and enhance existing methods, for instance by introducing new capabilities and functionalities, and also to create innovative new software tools for materials modelling in industrial and academic research.

The first year of the doctoral training programme is provided by the existing MPhil course in Scientific Computing, which has research and taught elements, as well as additional training elements.
