Being a modular programme, we can offer different combinations of modules to different students and we welcome students who would like to try one or two modules to build up confidence before embarking on the whole programme. The focus of the programme is on Computational Applied Mathematics which is a specialism demanded by employers. Alternatively, students of physics, chemistry or engineering study significant areas of mathematics as do some students of psychology, economics and general degrees. This modular programme is designed to cater for the needs of all these graduates and to provide a route suited to your own professional education and training needs. We welcome students in employment who wish to study part-time, those who are preparing to return to employment and those who have recently graduated.
Some modules are ideal for adoption by companies within a staff development programme.
Employers are welcome to make contact with the Department to negotiate the design of particular modules to meet their needs. Sometimes funding may become available to support particular groups of students. For example, the European Social Fund approved a pathway through the modules with an Industrial Mathematics flavour as eligible for funding in 1997-2000. Please contact the Department for details of any funding opportunities currently available. The normal pattern is for 120 or 90 of these to be offered as taught modules and the remaining 60 or 90 will be obtained by completing a research project and submitting a dissertation.
