Nowadays research progress in science and engineering is acknowledged to depend on the three inter-related aspects of theory, experiment, and simulation. Whilst the first two aspects tend to be more discipline-specific, progress in the third aspect (simulation) requires a cross-disciplinary approach. Expertise from the applied sciences, engineering, mathematics, and computer science must be brought together to make progress. With the improvement in computational power, scientists and engineers wish to solve ever more difficult mathematical models, incorporating uncertainty and multiple physical models, and demanding higher resolution in their simulations.

To satisfy these demands, the Schools of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Manchester offer an M.Sc. programme entitled "Mathematics & Computational Science". The University of Manchester is exceptionally well-placed to provide this programme. It has international research groups in all of the contributing disciplines: the end-user disciplines (computational chemistry, physics, materials science, earth sciences, engineering, etc.); applied mathematics and numerical analysis; and high performance computational science. Add to this combination, the high performance computing equipment and support provided by Manchester Computing, and you find an excellent environment in which to study Mathematics & Computational Science.

Progression and assessment Assessment comprises course work, exams in January and May, followed by a dissertation carried out and written up between February and September. The dissertation counts for one half of the 180 credits and is chosen from a range of available projects, including projects suggested by industrial partners. Career opportunities The programme prepares students for entry into a Ph.D. programme in mathematics, computer science, or one of the many science and engineering disciplines where computations are crucial. The programme develops many computational and analytical skills, which are valued by a wide range of employers. Specialist skills in scientific computing are valued in the science, engineering, and financial sector.

Academic entry qualification: The entry requirement to the programme is normally an Upper Second class honours degree (or equivalent overseas qualification) in mathematics, or a science or engineering discipline with significant mathematical content.English language: All students are required to be proficient in spoken and written English. In order to be accepted onto an MSc programme in the School of Computer Science applicants need to provide evidence of having achieved the required level in one of the following English language qualifications: * IELTS score of 6.5 minimum ( with no less than 6 in any of the sub-categories) * Internet based TOEFL 100 with 24 in writing * Computer based TOEFL 250 with 5 in TWE * Cambridge Proficiency Grade 'C' If you envisage any difficulties in satisfying our English language requirements then please do let us know. The University offer a number of excellent pre-sessional English courses designed specifically to help international students meet our requirements prior to the start of their programmes.Other international entry requirements: We accept a range of qualifications from different countries. For these and general requirements including English language see entry requirements from your country. English Language Requirements CAE score: (read more) Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) is part of the Cambridge English suite and is targeted at a high level (IETLS 6.5-8.0). It is an international English language exam set at the right level for academic and professional success. Developed by Cambridge English Language Assessment - part of the University of Cambridge - it helps you stand out from the crowd as a high achiever. 60 (Grade C)
