MSc Engineering Mathematics

at University of Bristol

Year 1 

Students must meet with the Programme Director in order to establish which study pattern they should follow, according to their academic and industry background. Elective units are available subject to timetabling constraints.
 

Mandatory Unit EMATM0038 is must pass. For the definition of must pass units please see the Glossary of Terms from Annex 1 to the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.

Prescribed, preliminary units:

All students must complete 30 credits of prescribed preliminary units (each preliminary units is worth 10 credits). Preliminary units are grouped by ‘strand’ depending on your study background and/or industrial experience. The three strands are presented based on the most common prior learning experience of students and consist of the following suggestions. Students with a Mathematical and Statistical background are encouraged to complete EMATM0044, EMAT20920 or EMAT30008, and EMAT30670. Students with an Engineering background are encouraged to complete EMAT30007, EMAT30012 or EMAT33100 or EMAT30010, and EMATM0044 or EMAT30670. Students with a Computational Science background are encouraged to complete EMAT30012, EMAT30010 or EMATM33100, and EMAT20920 or EMAT30008 or EMAT30007. Preliminary choices mixing units from different strand or with alternate choices within each strand are also possible.

To be considered for admission to a master's degree programme at the University of Bristol, the minimum requirement for entry is an undergraduate (bachelor’s) degree that is equivalent to a UK upper second-class degree (also known as a 2:1).
 

• We understand that the majority of candidates from India have been taught in English throughout their education. Many departments will accept CBSE or CISCE English at 80% or above in lieu of another English test, with an MOI letter confirming that English is the teaching language of your institution.
• The majority of our master’s programmes require a first class degree (60% or higher) from a recognised Indian university, with specific grades depending on the institution. Competitive programmes may require first class with distinction. If you would like advice relating to your specific qualification, 
• We are aware that at many of India's elite higher education colleges it is very rare to be awarded a first class. For this reason, a number of our departments may be willing to consider candidates from top colleges who have achieved 55% or above.
• Applicants wishing to be considered for research study at Bristol should have a first class pass in their Indian bachelor’s degree and some research experience. It may also be advantageous to have completed a master’s degree with research elements.
   

An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in an engineering discipline, computer science, mathematics or a closely related field.
