Overview

In the Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computation from The University of Edinburgh, you will benefit from:

dedicated academic training in subjects that include mathematical analysis, computational mathematics, multi-scale modelling, model reduction, Bayesian inference, uncertainty quantification, inverse problems and data assimilation, and machine learning

extensive experience of collaborative and interdisciplinary work through projects, modelling camps, industrial sandpits and internships

outstanding early-career training, with a strong focus on entrepreneurship

a dynamic and forward-looking community of mathematicians and scientists, sharing strong values of collaboration, respect, and social and scientific responsibility

You will integrate into a vibrant research environment, closely interacting with many academics, comprising mathematicians from the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University. You will also engage with computer scientists, biologists, engineers, physicists and chemists providing their own disciplinary expertise. The programme is also complemented by many industrial and government partners.

Career opportunities

Companies in a vast range of areas, as well as government agencies, are very keen to develop modelling-based approaches and to incorporate data science into their existing models.

Universities are also extremely keen to hire staff who can teach and conduct high quality research programmes in mathematical modelling, analysis and computation.

Programme Structure

Year 1

You will take specific core courses (30 credits), group project modules, and additional instruction either from Scottish Mathematical Sciences Training Centre (video+ on-site tutorials) or else from selected approved (level 11+) modules from the two Universities. The remainder of your studies is supervised research work.

Years 2-4

You will receive additional coursework and training (30 credits per year) with the remaining work being supervised research.

Week-long Industrial Sandpit

During each year, you will take part in a week-long Industrial Sandpit in conjunction with MAC-MIGS industrial partners to give an insight into how mathematics is used.
