Degree Programme Table: Computational Applied Mathematics (MSc) - 1 Year (Full-time) (PTMSCCOMAM1F)

Jump to: Year 1

Year 1 Academic year: 2025/26, Starting in: September

Notes:
Students must take at least 90 credits of taught courses at Level 11. Equivalently, they may take no more than 30 credits of Level 10 courses, including the compulsory 10 credits of Numerical Linear Algebra (MATH10098).

For clarity, you may take at most two of: Statistical Methodology (MATH10095), Applied Stochastic Differential Equations (MATH10053), and Numerical Ordinary Differential Equations and Applications (MATH10060).
