The MSc in Computational Science and Modelling is aimed at science graduates from engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics and related disciplines. The programme is practically oriented and aims to provide you with a strong working knowledge of modern mathematical and computational modelling methods and algorithms, as well as the option to study areas such as pattern recognition, neural networks and computational signal processing. It will form a good basis for careers in applied science requiring a balance of mathematical and computational skills for example in weather forecasting, environmental science or bioinformatics.
The dissertation can address a wide range of research themes within the School such as:
* Climate and Weather Systems
* Dynamical Systems and Control
* Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
* Computational Engineering
The structure and delivery of this Masters includes seminars, tutorials, lectures, computer laboratory sessions, project work and a dissertation all aimed at enhancing both technical and transferable skills.

Requirements
To be considered for a place on the MSc in Computational Science and Modelling students should have obtained at least a second class honours. Other marks will be considered in the context of equivalence to the British standard of second class honours degree.
Other Expected Capabilities
Cases will be examined on an individual basis to ensure that three key areas have been covered by the student's previous degree:
* Computer skills including programming
* Mathematical skills including statistics
* Analytical skills
We expect students to possess good skills in reading technical material, independently collecting appropriate material from the library, collating this information and making notes.
If your first language is not English you will be required to provide evidence of competence in the English language and, after admission to the University, you may be given the opportunity to take additional language instruction, normally at the University English Language Centre.
Language Requirements
* IELTS 6.5 with 6.0 in writing section
* or TOEFL Computer-Based Test 230 with an Essay Rating of at least 4
* or TOEFL iBT 90 with a writing score of at least 17
Additional Requirements
| Minimal degree required: | Bachelor's degree |
| Minimal amount of work experience | Not specified |
Language Proficiency
| Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE): | Grade A (Score: 80) |
