Master of Science by Coursework in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing

1. The Divisional Board of Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences shall appoint for the supervision of the course a Supervisory Committee, including a member from outside the University, which shall have the power to approve lectures and other instruction. The Course Director will be responsible to the Supervisory Committee.

2. The Course Director shall arrange for the appointment of a supervisor for each candidate.

3. Each candidate shall follow a course of study in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing for three terms and their corresponding vacations.

4. Candidates will complete and be assessed on all the following parts:

• (i) Two written examinations on core course material in mathematical methods. [1 unit each];

• (ii) Two or three written examinations on core course material in numerical analysis, of which the best two marks will be taken [1 unit each];

• (iii) At least one Special Topic labelled 'Modelling/Methods' chosen from a list that will be published each year. The Special Topic will be assessed by a written project. If more than one project is submitted, the best mark will be taken [1 unit];

• (iv) At least one Special Topic labelled 'Scientific Computing' chosen from a list that will be published each year. The Special Topic will be assessed by a written project. If more than one project is submitted, the best mark will be taken [1 unit];

• (v) A Case Study in Mathematical Modelling. Candidates will be assessed by a group presentation and individual written report [1 unit]; 
•  
• (vi) A Case Study in Scientific Computing. Candidates will be assessed by an individual written report [1 unit]; 
•  
• (vii) A dissertation on a topic approved by the examiners and associated oral examination [4 units].

  The detailed requirements will be set out each year on the course website.

5. The dissertation must be submitted not later than noon on the final Wednesday in August.
