Master of Science specialisation in Applied Mathematics

Applied mathematics makes essential contributions to the biological, information and physical sciences, economics, engineering and finance, but can also be applied to communications, linguistics and genetics. From studying climate change, preventing structural damage due to earthquakes, to analysing neuronal dynamics in the brain – Applied mathematics has a role to play. You will gain valuable skills that bring you to the frontiers of knowledge and the thrill of discovery that will provide you with the satisfaction of seeing mathematics at work.
