Course Overview

The MPhil Computational Methods for Materials Science at University of Cambridge is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about designing solutions for real-world challenges. Based in Cambridge, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 3-year full-time structure. This four-year Doctoral Training Programme on computational methods for material modelling aims to train scientists not only in the use of existing modelling methods but also in the underlying computational and mathematical techniques. This will allow students to develop and enhance existing methods, for instance by introducing new capabilities and functionalities, and also to create innovative new software tools for materials modelling in industrial and academic research. The first year of the doctoral training programme is provided by the existing MPhil course in Scientific Computing, whi... A minimum ielts score of 7.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 95% student satisfaction rating, a 100% continuation rate, and 80% of graduates in employment or further study.
