MSc Applied Mathematics

Program Overview

The MSc in Applied Mathematics at the University of Manchester is a 12-month full-time or 24-month part-time program that provides students with a strong foundation in core applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and industrial modeling skills. The program aims to equip graduates with the knowledge and abilities to solve real-world problems using mathematical techniques and prepare them for independent research in applied mathematics. With its focus on numerical analysis and industrial mathematics, the program reflects the research strengths of the Applied Mathematics group at Manchester.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

The MSc in Applied Mathematics is a 12-month full-time or 24-month part-time program designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of mathematical techniques, modeling, and computing skills necessary to become a modern applied mathematician. The program is offered by the Applied Mathematics group in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, which has a long-standing international reputation for its research.

Objectives:

The program aims to equip students with:

• A strong foundation in the core areas of applied mathematics.
• Advanced skills in numerical analysis and industrial modeling.
• The ability to apply mathematical techniques to real-world problems.
• The capacity to conduct independent research in applied mathematics.

Program Description:

The MSc in Applied Mathematics consists of five core modules (total 75 credits) covering the main areas of mathematical techniques, modeling, and computing skills. Students then choose three options from a list including specialist options relevant to numerical analysis and industrial modeling (total 45 credits). Finally, a dissertation (60 credits) is undertaken with supervision from a member of staff in the applied mathematics group, with the possibility of co-supervision with an industrial sponsor.

Other:

• The Applied Mathematics group has a strongly interdisciplinary research ethos, which it pursues in areas such as Mathematics in the Life Sciences, Uncertainty Quantification & Data Science, and within the Manchester Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics.
• The selection of optional courses in the MSc are centered around numerical analysis and industrial mathematics, reflecting research strengths within the Applied Mathematics group at Manchester.
• Industrial Mathematics and Industrial Modelling (any aspect of mathematics that can influence the way industry approaches or solves problems) is having an increasing importance within a variety of industrial sectors.
