MSc Engineering Mathematics

Taught units are organised around three key strands: engineering, computational science and mathematical and statistical training. We tailor to the needs of the student, as each strand is agreed based on previous experience and prior learning. Appropriate units are aligned with each strand. In addition, there are cross-references throughout the three stands to ensure that all graduates obtain a uniform level of background knowledge and appropriate specialisation.

Real-world problem solving is integral to each unit and spans many different application areas – from robotics and social media to medicine and environmental modelling. These problems are sourced from our industrial collaborators or address challenges in current research.

Having successfully completed the taught units, you will prepare an MSc thesis during the summer term, to be submitted at the end of the academic year.

Visit our programme catalogue for full details of the structure and unit content for our MSc in Engineering Mathematics.

You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in any Engineering discipline, Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics. Applicants who have studied Chemistry will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Unfortunately this programme is not suitable for applicants who have studied Biology or any degree outside of Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics.

If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date.

We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply.

We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.

If you have at least one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing details of your relevant qualifications:

• evidence of significant, relevant work experience with a minimum of 6 months full time, or 12 months part-time within industry or other organisations where Engineering, Technology, Science or Mathematics-related knowledge is employed in the workplace, including, government, industrial or service sectors.
• a relevant postgraduate qualification.
