Course Content

This course aims to help you develop your ability to think logically and critically, to acquire problem-solving skills, to become competent users of relevant software, and to communicate results effectively.

You will be required to take the following core modules:

* Variational Methods
* Computational Linear Algebra
* Algorithm Design and Operational Research

In addition, you will be able to choose a number of optional modules that include:

* Advanced Techniques for Differential Equations
* Mathematical Medicine and Biology
* Error and Uncertainty Quantification
* Computational Fluid Dynamics
* Computational and Systems Biology
* Stochastic Financial Modelling
* Object Oriented Systems
* Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
* Introduction to Turbulence and Turbulent Flows
* Aerodynamics

Please note that all module details are subject to change.

Over the summer period towards the end of the course, you will undertake a research project in Scientific Computation. This research will be of some depth and will form the basis of your dissertation; it will be carried out under the supervision of a member of academic staff.
This project will develop your ability to engage in independent learning, and will prepare you for postgraduate research or careers in industry.

Course Structure
The MSc in Scientific Computation is offered on a full-time basis over one year.
The course comprises 180 credits, split across 120 credits´ worth of core and optional modules and a 60-credit research project.

Modules are usually taught in small groups by experts in the field of Scientific Computation.
Written and oral presentations will be undertaken at various stages of the course.

During the summer period, you will conduct an independent research project under the supervision of academic staff
