Master (Computational Science and Engineering)

at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Core Subjects (3 courses / 36 units)*
 

Students are required to take three of four core subjects designed to provide foundation materials needed for the study of more advanced elective topics. The core subjects are chosen from the following:
 

• Introduction to Numerical Simulation (F)

• Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations (F)

• Optimization Methods (F)

• Introduction to Numerical Methods (S)

Academic Eligibility:
 

• The students must have a bachelor’s degree(3 or 4 years) in any of the respective fields to apply for this program.
• The average GPA of the students in this program is 3.9.
• Students can apply with any bachelor’s degree.

The cost of studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay $46930 annually, to study in Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Career opportunities for CSE SM graduates include companies and research centers where systems modeling, numerical simulation, design and optimization play a critical role.
