Postgraduate Certificate in Mathematical Modelling PGCertMathModel

About

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. Consequently, there is a growing need for a broad range of realistic modelling techniques and expertise in advanced computational methods.

The PGCertMathModel provides a pathway for modelling scientists and engineers to upskill.

The PGCertMathModel comprises core Engineering Science and Mathematics courses as well as electives.
