The Degree
The master´s programme leads to the degree Master of Science in Mathematics. It is a two year programme (120 ECTS credits).
Start-up Date
Autumn and spring.
Objectives
Applied and computational mathematics (ACM) is a field in which mathematics is used to solve practical and theoretical problems for different applied areas. Applied problem areas are often found within the natural sciences, in industry, resource management, medical image processing and other areas. The relevant problems are described mathematically in one or more equations through a modelling process. These equations are solved by using numerical tools, and the results are used to improve the understanding of the original problems. Another essential part of the field includes basic method development within applied mathematics, where one examines how different classes of mathematical problems can be represented and solved efficiently by using computers.
An education in applied and computational mathematics enables the student to solve practical problems within different applied areas by using mathematical modelling, analysis and numerical calculation. Moreover, the student is taught a theoretical fundament which contributes to the understanding of relevant academic literature and how to make use of new methods and results in applied work.
The master thesis in ACM can be written within one of the following specializations: applied analysis, computational science, image processing, hydrodynamics and ocean modelling, inverse problems, mechanics and dynamical systems, environmental mathematics, numerical mathematics, or reservoir mathematics.
Contents
Compulsory courses
The master´s programme consists of an individual research project (master´s thesis) of 60 ECTS credits, and courses or special topics of 60 ECTS credits. Some of the courses are compulsory within the specialisations. You will choose the other courses in agreement with your academic supervisor.
Teaching methods
In the work with the master´s thesis you will, in an independent way, make use of methods and scientific working techniques from the subject field in the research of a relevant material. The master´s programme in applied and computational mathematics aims to give knowledge and understanding of mathematical methodics and mathematical methods. The subject of the thesis decides which methods you will use.

Accreditation
The University of Bergen is one of three Norwegian universities accredited by the US Department of Education. That means that, for more than twenty years now, it has been possible for American students wishing to study at the University of Bergen to apply for financial support from the American student loan programme (FFELP) under the US Department of Education. UiB's accreditation entails regular thorough evaluations of its quality systems by external evaluators.
