MSc Applied Mathematics (China)

University of Liverpool

The MSc Applied Mathematics programme focuses on providing students with a solid foundation in mathematics and the ability to use their skills in practical applications. Our students are equipped with the tools to tackle challenges in scientific and technological fields related to applied mathematics.The programme requires 60 credit hours of coursework, including 20 credits of dissertation research.The candidates complete a core curriculum in the two areas: (1) analysis of partial differential equations, and (2) numerical optimisation and scientific computing.The School of Mathematics and Physics (SMP) has nearly 100 full-time academic staff members, with active research areas extending beyond the scope of the modules covered. Their expertise also encompasses applications of research in industry and finance.Through studying this programme, students will receive an excellent education, developing their proficiency in core concepts, techniques, and applications related to applied mathematics. This gives our students a springboard for success in their careers or further study in PhD programmes at world-renowned institutions.A strength of this programme is the industry partnerships that the SMP has meticulously built over the years. The School has strategic partnerships with successfully established research institutions, such as the Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute (JITRI) and the Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University HeXie Management Research Centre (HeXie Centre), as well as networks including insurance and financial companies. Through these collaborations, our academic staff create up-to-date curricular materials aligned with industry needs and academic requirements, providing our students with opportunities to apply their skills in real-world scenarios.
