Predictive Modelling is a fusion of mathematical modelling, machine learning and scientific computing, providing a powerful new way of thinking about how to model complex systems and improve technology and design.
Enhancements in computer processing power and access to ‘Big Data’ have led to a growth in the number of applications of predictive modelling into areas as diverse as environmental science, energy, healthcare, materials engineering, food science and geology.
Our MSc in Predictive Modelling and Scientific Computing educates future specialists in computational science and engineering, building on students’ existing programming skills and equipping them to apply appropriate computational techniques to understand, define and develop solutions to a range of science and engineering problems, including those of national and global importance.
A minimum 2:1 undergraduate UK Honours degree or equivalent international qualification, in an engineering, physical sciences or mathematical subject.
Please note that applicants will need post A2 Level (or equivalent) knowledge in Mathematics, covering topics such as linear algebra, calculus and analysis, including differential equations, as well as probability and statistics. This could be gained through mathematics modules taken as part of an undergraduate course. It is expected that candidates have a good understanding of these topics at the start of their MSc studies.
