This course focuses on applied and computational mathematics, which is the team’s research specialism and a skill set highly valued by employers. Students will have the opportunity to develop subject-specific skills (applicable in, for example, the biosciences, finance sector, and engineering) and key transferable skills (including IT, problem solving, and written and oral communication).

Students will be taught about the development of mathematical systems and how they are used to simulate and better understand real-world systems. 

They will also be introduced to a variety of theoretical tools (both modern and classical) for analyzing and solving such systems, whether it be exactly or approximately. Additionally, students will be introduced to industrially used software that is utilized to simulate such systems and will have the chance to embark on a large research project for their dissertation.
