MSc Computational Science and Engineering
Explore the world with mathematics and computers.
Computational Science and Engineering is a broad multidisciplinary area which joins computer science and numerical mathematics. Rather than performing costly and tedious experiments, practitioners study complex systems and natural phenomena through numerical simulations. They run computerised simulations of different scenarios for data analysis, in view of optimising production and efficiency.
The focus of the programme is on the development of the students’ readiness in solving problems of complex nature in science and technology using computational modelling, analysis and simulations. They will furthermore be instructed to develop efficient, novel and robust computational procedures and problem-solving methodologies to be utilised in different settings.Career Prospects
- The intended postgraduate student is a highly versatile person who can operate in multidisciplinary areas like weather prediction, traffic simulation, vehicles design, bioengineering, environmental modelling, web search engine and molecular biology amongst others.
