MPhil in Scientific Computing
The MPhil in Scientific Computing is a 12-month full-time Master's course which provides world-class education on high performance computing and advanced algorithms for numerical simulation at continuum and atomic-scale levels.
The course trains early-career scientists not only in the use of existing computational software, but also in the underlying components of the simulation pipeline, from mathematical models of physical systems and advanced numerical algorithms for their discretisation, to object-oriented programming and methods for high-performance computing for deployment in contemporary massively parallel computer architectures (supercomputers).
As a result, course graduates have rigorous research skills and are formidably well-equipped to proceed to doctoral research or directly into employment.
The highly transferable skills in algorithm development and high-performance computing make our graduates extremely employable in all sectors of industry, commerce and finance, including aerospace, manufacturing, energy, hedge funds and fintech.
The strong links the course has with industrial partners provide immediate benefits through industry-led research projects, with longer-lasting returns as graduating students move their skills into the job market, both within and beyond academia.
The MPhil in Scientific Computing is suitable for graduates from any discipline of natural sciences, technology or engineering, who have good mathematical and computational skills.
