Master of Science & Technology in Computation

The Master of Science and Technology in Computation (Program 8705) is intended for graduates with the equivalent of a 4-year degree in Science, Engineering or other mathematically based discipline, completed at a satisfactory level. All students are expected to demonstrate evidence of suitable mathematical ability and performance before admission. Candidates must also have adequate higher-level language (preferably Fortran) programming skills. The minimum time for completion of the course is one year full time or two years part time. Admission to the program and actual completion time may depend on student demand and the availability of resourses.

Students are required to complete, satisfactorily, 48 units of credit, as follows:

  • The two compulsory courses (MATH5303 and MATH5315, below)
  • Four courses from the electives listed below
  • A project, worth 12 UOC, supervised by academic members of the Faculty of Science and Technology or the Faculty of Engineering.
With the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies, a student may take up to two graduate level courses which are not on the list below.

Compulsory Courses

  • MATH5305 - Computational Mathematics
  • MATH5315 - High Performance Numerical Computing
Elective Courses

(Not all courses are necessarily offered every year)

  • MATH5115 - Analysis of the Finite Element Method
  • MATH5275 - Applied Data Analysis
  • MATH5285 - Ocean Modelling
  • MATH5295 - Atmospheric Modelling
  • MECH9610 - Advanced Fluid Dynamics
  • MECH9620 - Computional Fluid Dynamics
  • MECH9730 - Multiphase Flow
  • MECH9750 - Industrial Applications of Heat Transfer
All the above courses carry 6 UOC.
A complete list of the Mathematics graduate level courses is given on the Graduate Courses page, but in any given year only a subset of these courses is offered. The courses offered in the year should be finalised by January of the year.

The student's proposed program of study requires the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies.

The full conditions for the award of the degree are set out in the Sciences Faculty Handbook.
