Computational Mathematics, in particular the physical applied areas and the theory and implementation of numerical methods and algorithms, have wide-ranging applications in both the public and private sectors. More recently, in this era of ubiquitous and cheap computing power, there has been an explosion in the number of problems that require us to understand processes by modelling them, and to use data sets that are large. Thus, the subject of Computational Mathematics has become increasingly prominent. Consequently, there is high demand also for computational modellers and data scientists. This programme concentrates on the overlap and synergy between these fields.
Career opportunitiesThis programme will provide training in the tools and techniques of mathematical modelling and scientific computing, and will provide students with skills for problem solving using modern techniques of applied mathematics.
A UK 2:1 degree, or its international equivalent, in a numerate discipline such as mathematics, engineering, computer or physical sciences. Previous study of applied mathematics, probability and differential equations at university level will be required. Applicants should have studied a university level course with a substantial programming element, or have an equivalent level of programming experience. You can increase your chances of a successful application by exceeding the minimum programme requirements.
