Students who complete the course successfully will be equipped to understand available numerical methods, to develop existing algorithms into usable software and to exploit available software.

Our MSc is suitable for graduates or experienced professionals who wish to gain understanding of processes through which good software is developed for applications in science and engineering, and of the numerical methods involved in the computer solution of such problems. Potential students should have a reasonable knowledge of mathematics and some experience of elementary computer programming.
