Program Overview

At present, mathematical modelling is enjoying a high degree of public awareness, with real-world applications such as COVID-19 and climate modelling frequently appearing in the news.

The Master of Mathematical Modelling will expose students to a broad range of realistic modelling techniques and provide them with expertise in advanced computational tools as well as fundamental knowledge of the underlying theoretical principles and assumptions.

This programme is available with both 120- and 180-point pathways. It comprises core Engineering Science and Mathematics courses, and a broad range of electives.

Students will also complete a research project worth 45 points.

Course Content
