FindAMasters summary

Are you passionate about the power of numbers? Our Computational Mathematics programme is designed to equip you with the skills to perform efficient and accurate computer simulations in various fields, from physics to industry-related problems. With a focus on stable and efficient scientific computations, you'll delve into cutting-edge topics like computational neuroscience and uncertainty estimation. The one-year MSc or nine-month PGDip programme offers a mix of core and optional courses, allowing you to tailor your studies to your interests. Entry is aimed at graduates with a strong mathematical background, so if you're ready to challenge yourself and dive into the world of computational mathematics, this programme is for you.

About the course

Accurate and efficient scientific computations lie at the heart of most cross-discipline collaborations. It is vital that such computations are performed in a stable, efficient manner and that the numerics converge to the true solutions of the dynamics of the physics, chemistry or biology in the problem.

The programme closely follows the structure of our MSc in Applied Mathematical Sciences and is designed to equip students with the skill to perform efficient and accurate computer simulations in a wide variety of applied mathematics, physics, chemical and industry related problems.
