MSc Applied Mathematical Sciences with Climate and Environmental Modelling

The Applied Mathematical Sciences with Climate Change Impacts Modelling programme at Heriot-Watt University is a full-time, postgraduate course. It offers rigorous and wide-ranging training in applied mathematics, developing sophisticated mathematical tools and computational methods to model and solve complex problems in the industry.Course Content: The course mainly focuses on modern computational mathematics and advanced applied mathematics, giving deep insight into mathematical modelling of climate change. This includes areas such as propagating uncertainty through mathematical models, implementing modern numerical methods and software in high-level programming languages, interpreting and communicating the results obtained. Key Modules: This course is made up of three semesters. The first two semesters cover foundational skills in mathematical methods, programming in Python, advanced applied mathematics, mathematical modeling and physical principles of climate change. The third semester focuses on the individual project and dissertation. Accreditations: The course is endorsed by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and is part of the Scottish Computational Science and Engineering (SCONE) initiative.Future Careers: The mathematical modelling and computational skills developed during the course are highly valued in many sectors of industry, including financial services and data analysis, software development, engineering, scientific research, and logistics. The focus on climate change impacts modelling could lead to careers in environmental consultancy, government and NGO's, or further research.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
