The University of Strathclyde has launched an MSc in Advanced Mathematical Modelling, a program designed for students with a strong mathematical background. This course equips graduates with advanced problem-solving skills, enabling them to tackle real-world challenges across various industries and research fields.
The MSc in Advanced Mathematical Modelling provides a comprehensive foundation in:
Mathematical Biology
Continuum Mechanics
Optimisation
Numerical Methods
Students will gain hands-on experience developing and analysing models for applications in climate science, fluid dynamics, medical research, and engineering design.
A webinar will be held on May 15, 2025, at 13:00 BST, offering an overview of the programme and a Q&A session with faculty and the admissions team.
Course Structure & Research Opportunities
Semesters 1 & 2: Flexible module selection, including deep learning, finite element methods, and optimisation.
Semester 3: An individual research project, allowing students to apply mathematical modelling to industry-relevant or research-focused problems in engineering, finance, and science.
Dr. Alexander Wray, Programme Director, said: “This MSc addresses the global demand for mathematically skilled graduates capable of tackling real-world problems with creativity and precision—whether in disease modelling, climate dynamics, or complex fluid simulations.”
